Got the splint and wrapping off yesterday. Doc says some areas still need some healing time so will

First, my favorite doctor. http://oi65.tinypic.com/2lax181.jpg

Next, the incision as of yesterday. The circled areas show where the incision has not approximated.

Now the fun stuff. This doctor loves hardware. I asked if he ran the battery down on his DeWalt
cordless drill. He said, "That's exactly what we use!" Side view of heel:

Please enjoy your breakfast!

Prognosis is another five weeks with no weight on the foot whatsoever. More knee scooter time, no
walking, and no driving.

So, I get to sit around and indulge my sense of humor by reading Harry's pathetically funny posts!



Good grief! Don't go near anything magnetic.


Supposedly they're high quality stainless screws and plate!

Ouch! Be patient, do the re-hab, and you'll be up and around soon. Good luck!

Thankee!

I just asked him to use something that wouldn't rust, and no cheap aluminum. He chuckled. Said he
used only the best stainless.

dog tags) ;-)

He may have been kidding about the stainless. I'll ask him for certain next time I see him. Next
week.

316 or a similar cousin would work. The stuff you see rusting on boats
is usually 304/18-8.
It s stronger but not as stainless.

Stainless also has a problem with something called crevice corrosion
if oxygen can not freely circulate, not sure if that appllies within
bone. It's definitely an issue on boats however.

My doc. said my replacement part is of a titanium alloy. Your
parts are there to keep things together while the bones mend.
They don't need to last indefinately. That's what I think.
