random truth
i was born in 69, during the same period of time that the men where on their way to the moon. i was in emergency surgery a few days after my birth (the moment the men put foot on the moon) to have my small intestine repaired.
i had several blockages and couldn't pass my waste. according to one account, they literally had it completely out on a table cutting out the blocked portions and sewing the good portions back together.
the surgery at that time and being just a few days old was likely 80% chance that i wouldn't live.
i had the same surgery last april, but at that time it was a 99% survival rate.
