Exploding garage

Ouch.

I used to live up in the North West. Most local lads fancied themselves as TT riders. By the time I got to 21, a staggeringly high proportion of my friends were missing limbs, using wheelchairs, or had an odd gait caused by a poorly repaired pelvis. Someone once told me it's the curse of the amateur, the professionals let go of the bike, the amateurs have at the back of their mind how much they spent to prepare the bike and hang on just a fraction too long.

Not that any of that's relevant to your experience of course.

makes me and with my appendix look a right cry baby! :)

Err yes! Did you chat up any fit nurses? Student nurses are best/easiest!

There are 3 here :D (student nurses).

Post em here nobody will care!

Mine doesn't stick out. Makes up about half the femur at bone thickness, then goes up inside the femur for a bit. Then theres the knee joint (also titanium but with my own knee cap, which makes a digusting grating noise when i go upstairs), which goes down replacing a bit of the shin/lower leg bone type bit, then goes inside that bone as well like it does in the femur. Bloody heavy things (they let me see it before it went in).

Yours replaces the knee joint? I wouldnt have wanted to see it!

When i get home, hopefully tmrw, i'll put an old Xray i was given against the window and take a photo :)

My wife had one of those in her femur after a car crash. They called it a pin. 18 inch long pin mind you. When they took it out we got to keep it and we kept it on the mantlepiece. People used to pick it up and ask what it was and when we told them they couldn't put it down fast enough. I am pretty sure hers was stainless steel.
