Metal Bits

[glc]

I'm getting some metal bits put in tomorrow to hold my collar bone together.

Does anyone else here have any metal in them? what have you got? how did you do it?

How has your life changed as a result?

I got some fillings. I had to give up my habit of chewing aluminum foil. =(

My husband jumped off a 12-foot high roof wearing sandals a few years ago.

POP POP POP POP POP.

Pretty much separated the ligaments all the way across the arch of his foot.

He had screws holding his foot together for almost 12 months.

They were temporary. But this was 5 years ago. He is having some recurring problems. There is a definite possibility he'll have to have permanent pins put in.

The suck part of it is it can cut some mobility. Other than that, it's great that this sort of thing exists to restore some normalcy to a part of the body that otherwise might end up useless.

Good luck.

Yeah, it's wierd having this thing in here, I don't know how big it is yet - I see the x-rays next week, I hope it doesn't have a noticable impact on my living, or training. It shouldn't do, the collar bone doesn't move around too much. dunno. we''ll see. Interested to hear from people that have had similar things done - seems that not many people have!
