No more pins!!!!!!!!

I know this probably belongs on "just conversation" but I'm so excited, I wanted everybody to know. The Dr. took the pins out today and I hope to get full motion back soon so that I can grab my unis a little better.

The fractures were still somewhat evident in the xrays, but
I've got a splint for it now. I'm grabbing my MUni and
heading out to the Texas hill country first thing in the
morning 😄

Are you going to attach those pins to your muni as a kind of 'mojo'

Man that must have hurt having them taken out. I still
haven't been able to get my daughter to let me remove a
splinter in her finger. I can't imagine being awake while
they pulled that out of my body. Glad everything is healing,
broken bones suck! So do cut off fingers.😉

Believe it or not, it wasn't all that painful. After
they've been there for awhile, the body starts rejecting
them and they get forced out a little (about 1/16 to 1/8"😉.
I just kept puhing them back in. (They seem to "float" in
the hole). A few days ago, I hooked one on the bedspread
and pulled it out about an inch. So again, I just pushed it
back in. Today, I told the Dr. about it coming so far out
and he informed me that he has patients sometimes "lose"
their pins without even noticing it. THAT I find HARD to
believe :eek: :eek:

I'm an RN and was working in the O.R. one day when a guy came in to have
some screws taken out of his wrist. He was sedated lightly, but
definitely still conscious when the doc hooked up the drill/driver to
the screw and gave it a spin😉 Unfortunately for this gent, the spin
was in the wrong direction:eek: He was screaming, crying and begging
for mercy, but the sedation caused him to forget everything, so by the
end of the procedure he thought everything had gone perfectly
well🙄 I love medicine!

If it came out an inch I would have pulled it out all they
way. It might have gotten infected pushing it in. Either way
that is pretty fraky.

Not to steal Kenny's moment in the spotlight, but since
Bugs brought it up. I took out my stitches last night and
well, the wound split back open about a 1/6th deep, all the
way across.
Today, I soaked it in saline and then took some real sharp
little scissors and cut away all the skin around the wound.
It made it look really bad, but should help it to heal a
little faster.
And yes, it really makes it hurt now. 🙁 --chirokid--

Doesn't it feel like you're that much more extreme when you
can say you had pins as a result of an injury? I had a 6"
pin in my shoulder when I broke my collarbone 6 years ago
(it was real bad). I got a nice big scar to go along with it
because I had surgery on it. People ask me where I got the
scar, so I say I had a biking accident (this was before I
started uni). I feel so extreme. Yes, it was a biking
accident, that part is true, but I really don't care to go
into details about it (it's a rather embarassing story
actually, so I try to leave that part out). Now breaking my
wrist, that actually was extreme. I just don't have the
scars to show it. Kind of a bummer how that works out.
Hope the final stages of recovery go quickly for you!

Sounds exactly like an orthodic support for shoes, only different. Would
this be called a butt-thodic support? or glutethodic?

I had a slightly larger, thicker, and threaded version of
those in my foot when I was sixteen....spanning across the
five joints where my toes met the rest of my foot. The
removing of those was the worst pain I've experienced. Can't
compare it to childbirth since I don't know, but I will
anyway. Didn't just pull it....unscrewed it from the dang
bone. I think I hurled on the doc at one point, which he
could have avoided by giving me nitrous.

A friend of mine had asked his mother why women always
complain about the pain while giving birth. His mother got a
bit annoyed and told him to try peeing out a tennis ball. I
can imagine the pain of that.
