I've had 5 surgeries. 4 on my leg. I had a compound fracture of my tibia/fibula and had 4 screws, a nail, and a rod the length of my entire shin put in the first night. Had a debridement the next day. The 2 other on my leg were the removal of first the screws, and a year later the rod and nail. All of which I got to keep

.
The other was from a uterine defect. Bleh.
