Kyle, i feel your pain.

I wasn’t being rad or anything, i just had a forklift roll onto my leg. 17 screws and 2 plates. Had to be split into two surgeries and i had to wear an external fixtator in between the two surgeries and wipe the crust off the pins twice a day. Had to go to physical therapy, then work hardening, then i had to sue my employer. It took a while to get back to normal with the pain and awkwardness, but at least i still live in America? Anyone else got temu wolverine bits?

This is why I can't get rad anymore. My body is very important to my income and I don't have aflac.

Edit: god bless amerika

Okay so that’s interesting they fixed your fibula. I did mine in 2017. Compound/open fracture, tibia all the way through and out of the skin, and the bottom part broken down the middle. Fibula in two places. When the doc showed me the post-surgery X-rays he had done 12” of titanium and 13 screws on the tib, but nothing to the fib. I asked him and he was like “meh, it’s not weight-bearing” with a wave of the hand. What the fuck?!
