6. Yeah, the recovery from my past surgeries...

... were very slow, at least from what I was told.

I could barely keep my head from flopping over when the hospital staff finally put me in a wheelchair to get me the heck out of there, after the first operation. I was thinking at the time, "I'm still so weak that my muscles don't seem to be working, and you're rolling me out of here already? Was there a mass shooting around here or something, with the need for more hospital beds?" But they insisted that I should've felt fully recovered long ago, so away I went!

The second time, with the screaming nurse, was at a different hospital. They were a bit extreme the other way, not releasing me for several more hours to a niece (who was there to drive me home) even after I told them I was totally fine now.
