that's a mighty big screw
for such a small bone
bones are so, i dunno, prehistoric?
museum worthy?
thankfully, the screw stays.
things i wonder about...
do they get the screws from home depot?
four to a packet?
is it a flat head? phillip's?
did he use a drill?
*faints a little*
a screwdriver?
did the surgeon hold it in his teeth?
wear an apron?
consider a toggle bolt?
i'm better now that i am out from under the haze of narcotics...
i think.
OH NO!! I hope that your recovery goes way and that you bounce back quickly. As least, you can still blog. Love to keep up with you through your posts.
ReplyDeleteI really love X-rays. Love. Did you know that's my job? I am pretty sure they use a small drill, no apron, but they do wear an impervious gown, a mask and shoe covers. I am glad they put the screw in, that little bone is a tricky one to heal.
ReplyDeleteOuch! So sorry to hear this. Though I do appreciate your sense of humor in the midst of the yuck.
ReplyDeleteOww ow ow, that's all I can say. Anything to do with the feet, so painful. I don't even like to imagine what goes on under anesthetic, I am such a wimp. Glad you are out from under it!
ReplyDeleteMiss Harriett - I've been away too long. I didn't know about this... followed a link from Glynn's Saturday Good Reads. Yikes.
ReplyDeleteAs a student athletic trainer in college, one our "perks" was being able to watch surgeries on athletes. Uh, double yikes! It was a little scary seeing the screws and tools set out on the table. It looked like a scene in my garage.
Heal fast. Rest lots.
Blessings,
