I bored myself
Naw. Too easy.
Are you going to Spokane this weekend? I'm 99% for Sunday.
SAE or Metric....you get to feel thems pesky screws, pins and or plates many months and I presume years after the fact. I have screws and pins in the front of the pelvis and in the back and a horizontal plate inserted south of the belly button.
Seven months after accident my pelvis is 99.999 percent pain free but at night I can feel the steel while sleeping and have to roll over for better comfort.
They placed an external fixator to the entire pelvis/via two long threaded screws/pins with a network of hardware attached to that too keep the stuff from floating around during the initial three month healing period. During surgery they simply screw those two fixators straight into each of the two wide lateral bones each side of the pelvis. When I was OK to have the fixator removed the doctor pulled out an electric drill inserted the correct socket hit reverse and drew them out. No anestheasia but it only took seconds to remove so the discomfort was minimal. I trust and hope Freedom's pelvic injury was not so bad as to require that.
