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.
