My Experiences with Multiple Surgeries and Hospitalizations

This section contains my experiences with many of my surgeries and hospitalizations. I probably would have never have had any surgery or hospitalizations if I had not been born with arhinia and its associated anomalies. All experiences are written from memory. None of this is a work of fiction. All of it is true.

I've had 37 surgeries in my lifetime. I had my first surgery when I was nine days old. I had my last surgery on Tues., Jan. 12, 1999, at the age of thirty-four (34).

I've learned a lot along the way. I've experienced a lot along the way. I hope that I never have to go thru some of the experiences again. I've witnessed stuff that I hope that I never see again.

Within this section, there's a lot of different emotions that I have experienced with my surgeries and hospitalizations. There's humor, anger, sadness, and happiness.

Please note: If you can't deal with your own emotions and experiences going thru surgeries and hospitalizations, I strongly recommend that you do not read anything regarding my experiences with multiple surgeries and hospitalizations.
