Please tell me i don't have to go through this kind of stuff when i grow my wisdom teeth. I already had four surgeries and the only useful surgery i had was for scoliosis, the other three were for facial paralysis, which i was born with. I legit cried on the fourth one 'cause i didn't want to stay in the hospital. It's been 5 years since that surgery and they came up with a better, faster, way to get rid of scoliosis, the only thing my surgery managed to do was to straighten my back a little and leave it in place, so that it'll stop leaning, with the help of some silicone, you know just so that my heart and lungs won't be in danger anymore ^^. I still got a better version of it tho, others who did this surgery years before me have some kind of steel in their back, i actually met a girl who did it six years before me and she said she's carring 6kg, so it's not like i feel..... unlucky, it's just frustarating to go through so much without actually fixing the problem and two years later they come up with a way to straighten the back for about 50 degrees and still manage to make the surgery fast and simpler.

I would have no need for a second back surgery now (i can actually redo the surgery to straighten my back more), my scoliosis' double, which means it made and "S", and was leaning 40 dergress, so i would've been golden, and i would not have back problems either.

And that "going through so much without actually fixing the problem" is the synopsis of all my facial paralysis surgeries. I was always told by the doctor that "this will be the last", in fact i had to do a third one but something under my jaw was growing and she wasn't sure if it was becasue of puberty or something else (don't ask me i never leanred what it was, and it went away) and she didn't want to make the surgery longer than what it had to be, so she didn't do it. Now i decided that i will do the surgery when i grow up and go somewhere where they have the technology to do such surgeries. And i was born with it, so i didn't have any kind of silly expression on to feel like i had to do those surguries, i just did them because my mum said i had to  (   i was like nine when i first did the first one)     ,so it feels like she only made it worse but i understand that it probably a bit hard to know how a leg muscle would work on the face.

@Lynnellet A 45 minute surgery feels really light to me in comparison, seeing as i never actualy had a 45 minute surgery, i think the shortest i had was 2-3 hours, then i had one that was supposed to be 2-5 but ended up lasting for 10-12. Mind you the 2-3 hour one was supposed to be max an hour....

Either way you must feel pretty awful so... i guess i'm wishing you the best ^^; I'm sorry it's just that ever since i was small i was always the one to go to surgery and it kind of left a scar on me i guess, so i really don't know how to cheer you up without saying "there are worst situations out there, even worse than mine, so feel better" (And i mean that from the bottom of my heart, i know it's not all that uplifting but i would have the most sincere smile on me when i say it) but that's not really bright or uplifting so....
