Congrats

And here's the x-rays. Pre- and post-op.

I'm thinking of getting an "Iron Man" tattoo on my tibia. Too much?

You might even have to weather a full patdown.

You know, in Time magazine, they said that in 2040, the SINGULARITY will occur, when man and machine fuse together.

I really doubt that for a lot of reasons but I'd be hijacking the thread then.

That is amazing. Are you eating the hospital food, or is the wife bringing in Quarter pounder and fries?

I know im late chiming in, but I'm glad you made it out ok, and man, that is a terrible looking break.. wow..hopefully the recovery process isn't to long!
it's sad about the two youngsters, but again, glad you made it out!

UPDATE - Ok, if anyone cares, here's the update. I just got home from the orthopedic surgeon follow up. He said the X-rays look great, the range of motion in my knee is better than he expected, and no problems foreseen. I finally got all the post-op bandages and wrapping removed. A total of 13 staples and 2 sutures were taken out today. He said I only need to wear the walking boot when, or if, I feel like I need it and that I can start to transition off the walker whenever I feel strong enough for it. Next appointment is in 6 weeks, and no physical therapy needed right now. He's letting me manage my own range of motion exercises at my own pace. Apparently, he figured out that I'm an overachiever and will probably do more than the PT's would have me do anyway.

So, here's a couple of pictures right after hey took the bandaged off. Today is 12 days post accident, and 10 days post rod surgery.

ChrisSlicks · 03-02-2011, 11:43 AM

That actually looks pretty good, coming along nicely. It will keep getting better especially if you keep up with your PT. Being an overachiever is a good thing! Just know your limits.

EazyD · 02-22-2011, 05:51 PM

Thanks for sharing. I say go for the tattoo, even if it's tiny! Or better yet, get iron man headlight mod on your new nismo

glad you are out of surgery

simota1 · 02-22-2011, 05:53 PM

wow man!!!! im super happy you and your wife got out safely.... those pictures looks crazy....

Sundown · 02-22-2011, 05:57 PM

Actually, I'm at home right now. The accident was on Friday, first surgery on Friday night. Rod placement on Sunday night, started walking on it with a walker on Monday and discharged home today.

It's all going well.
