I think my Cancer at age 26 pales into insignificance after reading about all of you guys and girls on here with ongoing, long term illness.
Good luck and i hope you all get a cure or at least some relief from your various disibilities.

How bigs your butcrack!?
Eh? the entire length of your ass, that's how long it is. I said crack, not hole. As it happens, mine was near the top of the crack, near the small of my back, so it wasn't as bad as it could have been ... until the wound got infected.

Spoiler:
For the operations I've had so far (which are not for the cataract (Which is /usually/ done awake)
They put you out. Ain't no one going near my eyes awake.
They get two or three drills - make a holes in the eye, suck out the jelly inside. Then they can scrape the damaged retina clean as they can get it with probes.
Then they sew the holes up and the eye fils up with liquid to replace what they took out
Re: What's the worst/strangest illness you've ever had?
My better half has done the eye op under local anaesthetic thing but the worst i`ve ever had is my Carpals Tunnel Syndrome.
My "w.....s cramp" as she fondly calls it...........
Had the odd finger hanging off but that`s baby stuff compared to the pain i had during my first few months with the CTS.
I used to wake up screaming like a stuck pig every morning at about 3am.
The very first night had the wife and kids all awake & screaming like banshees too wondering wtf was wrong with me.
Quite funny in hindsight.
Unlike the big bloody javelin full of steroids i used to have injected into my wrists then scraped & scratched around until the "tunnels" were located.
After her eye op though it seems like much ado about nothing.
I was an odd case apparently,being so young and suffering in both wrists at the very same time.
