More than enough steel to make airports fun in the future.
Does that mean they will have you strip off 100% & lay you on the X-Ray conveyor belt & slide you through in front of Joe Public? They will need to get a larger Plastic Tub to what they use now.
Of course, the upside is that while you are concealed behind the curtains you may go though a few accompanying Wallets & come out a much richer bloke.
I'd like to see that.

If you don't like trucks, stop buying stuff.

Really 58i? You will be saying next that you can trust everyone 100% you know or meet.

SubscriberTake it easy .... I haven’t had anything like your damage but I’ve had a (regular) stream of orthopaedic operations on the same leg over the last 25 years and I’ve found that the best long term results come from being really conservative.
I got to use a hydrotherapy pool last year which was very cool ....

SubscriberA bloke I know, who has a lot of metal in him from a few hang-gliding "Incidents", gets a bit sweaty when there is lightning around.Originally Posted by NavyDiver

SupporterAt least he doesn't wet his pants every time his wife turns the microwave on, as does Clark Griswald's BIL Eddie due to a metal plate in his head, in the National Lampoon's Vacation movie.

Does he bite the dust (or sea) the second he leaves the clff edge?

SupporterGlad to hear you are out of hospital. I think the bone doubling trick is well known, that is what the karate/kung-fu movies are about, when you see them practicing punching bowls of peas/pebbles, kicking rope wrapped posts, etc. It is not to prove they are tough but they are actually creating micro fractures in their hands/feet which then heal up even thicker/stronger.X-rays and two of the three bones covered. No walking unsupported which is wheel chair pending Right shoulder today which just might allow me to use crutches.
Chatted with surgeons and the BOSS or they chatted about me every morning at 7 am in the Trauma ward in the Hospital for the first 7 crazy days. "No high impact sports for 3 months, Swimming and bike riding will be ok..........." They forgot to mention no walking for 3 months till I was told yesterday
The x-rays all showed bones regrowing well or very very well
Right Clavicle is twice as thick as it was. ( Shoulder bone) The thickness is excluding the cool metal plate and screws they reinforced it with. I see that cool surgeon today. Does double thickness equal double strength? No idea yet. Apparently the bone double trick is a known side effect of a knock on the head or one other item which I missed.

SubscriberIt was pretty hilarious when, (Well, for me, it was) quite a few years ago, on the then dirt between McKinlay and Winton, unpredicted storm cells were everywhere and there were a few conventional vehicles stuck in the mud. "Ironman" and I were helping a young couple with a toddler retrieve their Falcon from a table drain when a crack of thunder and nearly simultaneous lightning flash sent my mate diving to the ground into about 6" of thick, wet mud.Does he bite the dust (or sea) the second he leaves the clff edge?
The lightning didn't faze the little tacker but, when my mate stood up, all hell broke loose. He did look pretty frightening, I have to say.
He reckons he was more worried about being fused together rather then getting killed!
Don't rush your recovery. Give it time to heal properly.
