The surgeon just stopped by to see me and he said everything looks good and he is pleased with the results.

With enough Xrays and scar photos we could do a 6 m billion dollar man reboot.

Nice one Robb

The rod in my leg is titanium, had to have two surgeries on mine, Doc gave me the old titanium rod he took out when he swapped it for a different one.

We could start a club! I still have the original rod in my leg with I think it was 36 screws and I also had another operation where they grafted a piece of my hip into my leg. One Dr. told me I should have the rod removed after a bit of time and another told me if it doesn’t cause any issues don’t mess with it so that is what I have done. Just hope the loc-tite holds

Me Three, I got a big rod along my left femur, thanks to careless driving on a motorcycle. I could have gone back to get the rod removed but I didn't want to go under the knife again and I didn't want to use a cane for 3 months again. I've had mine in there for 25 years and no plans to remove it , no pain or issues associated with it either, I'm okay with it.

My shoulder surgeries/scars are not worthy of show and tell. However, while playing cribbage with my sister against our spouses, I had a 24 hand. The third highest hand possible in the game. Now I know cards are mostly luck, but this is worthy of the Good News Thread.

What is not good news is that the guys are still WAY in the lead over us. My 24 hand didn't even help us with that game.
