The whole picture looks like hardware. How many screws? Do they stay in as well? I'm not real excited about you getting back on a horse before everything is in place, but I figure Steve & Katie will keep you in line.
That's some serious hardware. Trust me on this...DO NOT have them removed. The pain is excruciating.
Before the Navy would let me enlist, I was required to have the screws removed from my ankle. 27 years later I can still recall the feeling of the screws being threaded out of my bone.
Thanks for reading and commenting. Unfortunately, I've had some comment spam show up, so I've enabled some security measures to keep that from happening in the future.

Love, Mom
Looks like six, I think, and they will stay in. They could be removed later with another surgery, but I think I'll just not bother.
ReplyDeleteI will be careful. I have no desire to continue with this any longer than absolutely necessary!!
Shoot. I'd say you're ready. I mean there's like a dozen screws in there! That's gotta hold, right?
ReplyDelete(Of course I'm riding with a stress fracture on my foot, so don't listen to me.)
Oh, no, Breathe. I WILL listen to you. Bar says I should. He's nearly as bored as I am.
ReplyDeleteThanks!
That is SO bad-ass. It's like something from the X-men. Not that I'd want to trade places :)
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the newer, Now With 20% More Metal!! you.
Ha! Thanks, Kathy. I was hoping for Adamantium, but apparently that is only a fictional metal. Damn.
