I have to be given nitrous oxide to have my teeth cleaned, otherwise I yell and curse at the staff

I too have never broken any bones but I get at least one new bruise every day, usually from banging my knee against the computer desk.

I have had 4 surgeries.

I've had 16 surgeries. The first one started in less than half a day after I was born, the last one was three years ago right before I was about to go to college.

Somewhere my dad has a picture of me, about a year and a half old, awake for god knows what reason with my intestines hanging out after an operation. Why he took it, I'm not even going to guess.

I have six scars - two on my stomach, one vertical and one horizontal; one on my right arm; one on my neck; one on my face above my left eye (more of a dent than a scar, actually); and one on the top of my head.

Somehow, I got off with only a couple of actual bones broken - once my nose (fell down a flight of stairs) and once my jaw (the doctors did that themselves, trying to "fix" my face up to fit teeth in there.... *grumble*).

I never had chicken pox not even when my younger sister had it or any classmate/friend did, but I had an illness that hasnt existed for two centuries!!
I get bruises every single day cos I hit my body with walls, doors, tables, etc (not on porpose!)
And when I was born I had to be in hospital for a while with tubes all over my body cos I wouldnt stop vomiting and having diarrea (ew), I think that happened when I saw this world's society!!

cholesteatoma in left ear.
i had to have it removed with surgery.
i had professor william gibson take my case.

i was very lucky, because without him, i would have had to have my whole eardrum assembly removed and discarded and i would be deaf in that ear now.

but he did a cochlear reconstruction and re implanted my hearing apparatus after removing the growth.

i can hear about 60% in my left ear.
it sounds a bit transistor radio like.
i am used to it, and my brain has compensated, and i know where sounds are coming exactly from now.

but i can not be fully a studio engineer because my stereophonic perception , and tonal perception is diminished on my left side.

I got very very abd hives when I was quite little. I remember chewing blue gum and losing it somehwere in my blankie, and then months later finding it still in my blankie. I believe I had a meltdown in the hos[ital too, because I remember my mom being very upset and out of character and threatening to leave me alone in the little cubicle thingy.

I have been in hospital on a near-death-experience twice on holiday (and never at home): once when I had unusually bad asthma and once when I had an unknown allergy. I do not know the causes for either of the times I nearly died.

P.S I nearly died as a baby as well because I was purple because I had my umbilical cord round my neck.

When I was 10-11, I had problems with my private parts of body because I got inflammation there few times because of some antibiotic I had to take before.

I got pneumonia once when I was a child but it wasn't serious.

When we were tested by the school nurse in last grade of primary school, my blood pressure was too high but now I don't have problems with that.

Well, I broke my both the bones in my lower leg doing stupid stuff. (Roller Skating, racing with friends, wall was finish line, went fast, hit wall, toe bent up and hit leg, I fell over but was kind of speechless due to the pain so no one knew I was badly hurt until I didn't get up.)

Need Nitrous Oxide during dental cleanings 'cause of sensory issues.

I had my first cavity filled 6 months ago and I had a second one filled a week ago.

I had neurofeedback done to help treat "social anxiety disorder and ADD" when I was in the 7th grade.
