Four days later I had surgery to remove all the hardware in my leg from last-year's Christmas "break". After I went skiing two weeks ago the hardware was killing my ankle ie: grinding into the inside of the skin on my ankle, so the very next business day I was in the doctor's office scheduling the surgery to have it removed. They took it all out last Friday January 4th. The picture below shows it all. And before anyone says anything funny; No, the coins were not part of what they removed. I put the coins in the picture to show the scale. Its been 5 days now and I had the stitches taken out yesterday and I can walk on it with only a minor limp. They basically went into the same incisions (there was one on each side of the ankle) so I am dealing with a flesh wound, but the bone is strong and the ligaments are all in place so I can put my weight on it. The plate and seven of the screws was on the left side of my ankle, and two of the screws were on the right side.

Very interesting report. James thinks this family is nuts with how much we are into bodies and fluids.
Glad all came out well--from all ends.
Amen. I can't believe the words colon and rectum made it to this public forum. I like the picture of the screws, very cool.
Glad to hear everything's OK, and even though Jarom's had a colonoscopy and I thought I'd heard it all, coming from you, it's just a little unsettling. Sorry. But I do agree with Staci. I like the picture of the screws and pins. And, just for the record I wasn't laughing AT you per se, I was laughing because I KNOW I couldn't handle two lites of that stuff and would be worse than you. You were a champ even amidst the vomiting.
