Pic of 6 Screws in shoulder
 

Here's the pic of the 6 screws put into my shoulder. A bit uncomfortable. I'm not taking any meds anymore, except over the counter tylenol. I kept having these weird dreams and whatnot.

No pain meds, Wow ! You musta had a good surgeon.
Whats the dot between the 2 screws in the middle, JB Weld ?
Of course you know we want to see the cut and stitches.
Glad it went well, heal fast.

Glad everything went well for you..

The surgeon dude is good and I got to ask him about the JB Weld fix. I'll get to see cut soon enough.

Looks pretty good there!!! Would love to see the cut tho...

God speed on the recovery!

I know the pain!!!
 

I feel the pain for you in Physical Therapy.:oh::diablo:
It's hard to do but it will help you heal better.:yes:

Naaa
 

NAH that is one of the extra parts they throw in for free. It's probably one of the doctors fillings that fell out during surgery. Good luck with therapy man.

Here's the scar. I'm even more mobile now. Was able to make breakfast this morning.

Nice! Man you should be back to normal sooner than you were thinking. I can still take care of some of those R/C's for you...

I separated my shoulder and I couldnt move it for a week. I cant imagine how much pain your in. Happy healing.

Just think.
 

Just think later once it is all healed up, if you ever run short of hardware on your R/C's you will always have spares on you to rememdy the situation.:whistle:

Thats sweet, know what you mean about the opiate nightmares, I woud wake up punching the bed thinking I was fighting someone, then 2 days later you can't poo. Don't see how those kids get addicted to that crap. Nice scar, I know where to karate chop you now

Bonus, It's TITANIUM Hardware, BLING !

Hi there indian-dutch-american-surinam mixed dutch speaking guy :lol:

I did this :surprised::surprised::surprised: when I saw those screws... That looks ehhh... painfull :oh: Well, I hope you heal fast!

Great point.
 

Thats a great point. I had not even thought of that one. Titanium hardware is always a plus to have on hand. What a lucky guy. How did you break your collar bone in the first place Snellemin? And how in the world did they not get the repair correct in the first try? Or was that because you were not following your doctors advice? Just curious...

I fell of my Sector 9 Bamboo skateboard. I usually run it off or roll it out. But I didn't roll fast enough before I hit the concrete road. I hit a rock or something and my skateboard just stopped and I flew off it. Here's the thread I had before--http://www.rc-monster.com/forum/showthread.php?t=24065

I have plenty of spare parts now.:lol:

Titanium hop ups should be on your RCs, not yourself. :lol:

I hope the pain and discomfort go away very soon for you. I had a lot of screws and a bar put in my ankle when I broke it. I can relate with your pain there bud. The screws I had were on either side of my ankle right under the skin, I could feel them. I banged the side of my ankle on a concrete pillar after wards building a deck and it broke the skin, exposing part of a screw head. It grossed me out so a few weeks after, I went under the knife again to have this hardware taken out.

Did you at least get to keep the hardware when they took it out?

I still have one screw in my right ankle. I use to have two, but they took one out back in '95. If I remember correctly, the doctor charged my insurance 10G to take it out and it only took 15 minutes. I have one rod and 3 screws in my left femur still. Fun times when the weather gets cold. I had busted up my bottom lip once and had it stitch back together. It was cut in two piece and just hung down. Not to long ago I took a fatty mass out of the back of my neck and I'm still paying for that one. My Health insurance sucks and good coverance is unaffordable.

It's because of Asshole Dr's like him chargeing $$ like that to the Insurance Co's is why normal hard working guys like us all can't afford the better Health insurance. That pisses me off .

They have to charge so much because assholes like to sue doctors over anything and everything so the insurance companies (which never lose money, they are only in business to screw people out of money) raise their insurance rates way high. Doctors have to charge so much in order to pay their insurance...and their massive student loan debt for those whose parents didn't pay for their education.

Went to the doctor dude again today. I actually have 7 screws in my shoulder. That JB weld spot is actually another screw. I don't need the sling anymore, but no heavy lifting for next 6 weeks.
