2 times to repair a rip. Had me on my knees. Had CV-19 swab test 3 times two days ago, no big deal for me. Having all 3 come back negative was great. Last one was for the throat, didn’t tell me they were going thru nose to get to the throat and it was worse than the first two. But, got that result back in a few hours. Well worth the discomfort.
