Apart from when you were born, how many times have you had to stay overnight in hospital and why?
Question:
Answers:
So far approximately 600 times in the last 10 years. Thankfully none have been for an illness. I work in one.
Only time I've spent a night in hospital when I wasn't working was to witness the birth of my son.
4 times. Broke something, had to get my tonsils out, broke a lot of things, pneumonia.
i have never apart from being born stayed over night in hospital
3 times, when 3 of my children were born, i had my other child at home
Probaly only once - when i broke my arm
4days when i have milaria ,filaria,dengu,typhoid,small pox,chicken pox and a dog take my leg away
lol yes 2 other time. One was when i was young and i fell and ran my head into a corner. I was rushedto the hospital ^_^
the other time was i had surgery of some kind on my ankle.
Apart from when I caught salmonella when I was Four or Five and was put in isolation for a couple of weeks, never, as far as I can remember.
Twice, once when I shattered my arm, and once again a while later when I manged to break the pins and plates they had put in!
Three different times for operations.
One time- I had my tonsils out at age 7.
well over twelve times for taking a overdose, four times with my four pregnacies, and five times in the local mental hospital, im a total nutcase you know!
twice. giving birth each time
Three or four times.
I chopped off the tip of my right little finger in a weight machine when I was about 13. I had to have to surgery on it to have a piece of bone taken out. I can remember if I really stayed overnight or not.
I had surgery on ingrown tonenails, I was about 16.
I broke my knee in an auto accident in 2002 and had two surgeries for it and stayed overnight in the hospital both times.
Once, fractured my ulna & radius when I was 12, they kept me overnight.
Re fractured it a week after the cast came off, they didn't keep me that time. Always thought that odd.
4 times so far. Twice when my 2 kids were born, once when I had gallstones removed, and once when I had kidney stones removed. And in Nov, it'll be a fifth time when my third child is born.
once, broke my right femur
I was born at home by accident, and the ambulances were on strike that day. As I was healthy, I wasn't taken into hospital.
So in answer to your question , once! When I was nine, I stayed in hospital for 4 nights after a branch fell off a tree and 'skewered' my thigh. I was horse riding at the time, and in the process of falling off I also gained some almighty concussion. Still you have to laugh don't you!
If i have a year where i don't spend at least a night in hospital, i will be happy!
This year alone i got rushed in to have my appendix removed.
Probably well over a year, total time. I have had seven major surgeries and life threatening complications. Now I have to go into the hospital every six months to have bands put on esophageal varicies. I usually need to stay in hospital at least 3-4 days. I used to be very afraid of needles, now I don't even give them a second thought. My most used line, "Are you going to put me to sleep for that?" It helps to keep a sense of humor.
