Screwless

Yesterday I had surgery to remove the hardware from my ankle, all of which was put in a couple years ago when I broke it in a really lame way.

I’m feeling really good, and have a small army of friends who are arranging furniture and cleaning up small rain-caused floods and making sure I’m fed and and making sure I’m taking my painkillers and generally verifying that I don’t injure myself in embarrassing ways in my own home.

I get the sutures out in 2 weeks, and then I have 4 more weeks on crutches. Since there are now holes in my bones that need to fill in. I don’t understand how there aren’t nanobots or Cylon goo to do this, but there you are.

And I kept the hardware.
