As some of you know my Dr. let me keep the nail and screws that he took out and I think they are freaking amazing. Especially knowing that they were in my body a week ago. Here are some pics of them. The long rod is actually called a nail and the screws look like they picked them up at the local Ace hardware but of course they weren't and instead of costing a couple cents, they cost me several thousand dollars.

Thanks everybody who helped.
I just wanted to thank those who called, prayed, and helped in any other way with my surgery last week. Its been a bit of a roller coaster pain wise but I'm now walking mostly without crutches. Now we just need to cross our fingers and hope that the nail is in correctly so as to minimize long term pain.

Good thing that should be the last surgery...you're running out of places for scars! I'm not gunna lie though, it's a little sad to think I won't be called in as wound care specialist any time soon. Ahhhh...good times.
ReplyDeleteNice to see the bandages off!! I still can't fathom how you were coping with that nail being approx. 2 inches too long. It would have driven me nuts too. Hopefully they got it right this time!! Crazy. Can't wait to see you in less than a week for the cabin trip. Love ya!

Wow... It wasn't two "inches" long that would have been sticking out of my knee. It was actually two "milimeters" I know that doesn't sound as bad but when your working in a place as sensitive as the knee, 2mm makes a big difference.

Crazy pics...I cannot believe that thing was inside your body! You are one tough dude. There are not many people who could go through what you and Bep have this past, let's see...your whole marriage!
ReplyDeleteI really look up to you Morg.
Love,

Morgan, let me reiterate how badly I need you to give me that nail for Christmas. I think I deserve it. Pleeeeeaaaaase! I can't pay you several thousand for it, but you can come over and see it anytime.
ReplyDeleteDUDE!!!
ReplyDeleteI'm not grossed out, at least I don't think I am....I think I'm just kind of shocked. I've been sitting here just staring at your pictures, kind of frozen like. I still feel a bit wierded out. Man. Dang. I'm glad you're okay. You guys are amazing people. Love you,
