unlimited amount of screws, plates, rods, etc.


Those screws sure are expensive. That picture brought back some bad memories. Hope the recovery goes well

Well, at least the doctor thinks that looks "good". I'm glad you didn't show us the "before" pics.

Glad you're on the mend and hope you get there soon.

Now the hard part begins, Physical Therapy, six months to a year from now you will be as good as new, if you stick with it.

Dang! I'm sure that injury will come back to haunt you when you are out in the cold. Glad you are on the mend, and take care of yourself.

Kevin, guess you ought to be happy you live now and not when our trucks were new. You'd probably be lame for the rest of your life. How's the hernia recovery going? Still praying for your full and rapid recovery.

Glad this made it to page 2 so I can jump in to pay my regards without seeing what I suspect is a gross picture of your leg on page one. Hope you're mending well. Stu

And that is your leg for gas and brake. Not pretty at all. Hope you heal soon.

You will finally fit in with the tattoo crowd :-)
That's some impressive work. Does the zipper go up or down?

This may sound like a stupid question. On the Australian trucks (right hand drive) are the gas and brake on the left?

Hope you mend quickly!

Hey Kevin,
You got out easy! Before they do any procedures on me they spend 30 minutes shaving me with the cheapest bic razor - no shaving cream!
Why don't they use shaving cream?

Just kidding - all that from falling on the ice - Geez. Hang in there. When do they say you can put some weight on it? Do you have one of those neat scooter things you can put your leg on? You could modify one of those!
