I don’t know what kind of surgery I had, by the way. But, since it was 21 years ago, I’m sure it wasn’t any of those new fangled surgeries. :-)
But I did manage to play badminton at my cousins...and ripped open my side. Pushed it together with tape and never told mom. Big 6 inch scar.
My 46 year old son just has his out a month ago...three little teenie cuts...36 hours in the hospital...no bowling for 3 weeks. The muscles get cut during the procedure.
