1-Open heart surgery x2, 2-infected gallbladder, 3-kidney stones

Two open heart surgeries within about 2 years. Having your sternum sawed open and the recovery is not fun.

My gallbladder infection came out of nowhere. Thought I was having a heart attack.

Kidney stones is a distant 3rd, but would not want to repeat it. No warning and no problems since. It has been about 10 years.
