I wondered about that myself ;-)

They had me empty my pockets and took the films while I still had my
clothes on... I think it's the part of the pant's zipper.

Ow! You're not supposed to get it caught in the zipper!

Thanks. That friend is going in Monday after Thanksgiving. She's planning on
being back at work in 6 weeks. Looks doable if she doesn't have
complications.

As long as she doesn't work for the Bolshoi. ;-)

What? Didn't they give you a video of the colonoscopy to post too?

Actually I do believe I have that from nearly two years ago. Want to
see it, or do you think it would overly incite your appetite ?:)

Why? Do you need it to replace that lost video of your family
reunion?

Was that hip on your good side, the one opposite the polio damaged limb,
so that your favoring it wore it out?

Not really unless he has a few dozen young buxom Mediterranean women in
there...

Are you sure it's you? I see nothing bionic or electronic. Not even one

Looks like it fits niceley, how does it feel? Two more questions:
1) How did they fit the socket to your hip bone, was it done by hand or
robot?

Power Tools and brute force - my uncle had a hip replacement with local
anestetic (epidural) because he was afraid of the full version. He regetted
that when the surgeon fired up a tool similar to an angle-grinder and made a
nice curtain of blood spatter on the sheet hiding the operating site from
direct view. Then they started with a mallet and chisel finishing with lots
of screws.

I had a Stryker Citation installed. From their website I conclude they
used something resembling a small pneumatic jack-hammer ;-)

I banked two units of blood prior to the procedure. When I awoke
there was a drain at the incision site, draining into a bag. They
filtered this drainage somehow and put it back into me. I didn't need
the banked blood at all.

My surgeon was Anthony Hedley... ranked 5-star. He has written
several papers saying screws are NOT the way to do it. From my X-rays
I see NO screws.

This was the 1990's. Anything that did not use that stupid Danish Designed
glue/cement/stuff rubbish that rotted the bone afterwards was considered
progress (and luck)! Huge medical scandal about that one..

Had my 3-month follow-up X-ray today.

The mystery object was there again.

I had previously thought it was part of a zipper.

Then I realized, it _is_ a surgical clip... I had the "sports"
conversion in 1973, a few months after the birth of the fourth child


Be glad that it wasn't the earlier version here they told you to turn
your head and cough, while they picked up a couple bricks! :(

I had open heart surgery some years ago. A traumitic experience, and
about a year later had to get a chest xray.

I asked to see the xray (they suspected an blood vessel problem, which
was eventually cleared) and it looked like I'd been hit by an
explosion at a wire factory! I counted about 20 pieces of wire and
metal in my chest, including four big pieces of wire! I'm surprised I
don't set off metal detectors at the airport... <bg>

I didn't think vas deferen clamp-offs
would be large enough to draw such attention in any procedure.
....or did you require the super-duty model? :cool:
This reminds me of the old Cheech and Chong bit:

Nice clean Job ;)

I've come across some neat repair jobs ;), but his one looks pretty.

Looks like someone had an implant matching library. Which is cool, they take the x-ray then take a implant outline from a
library and superimpose it on the xray image to see if it fits. Much better matching than was possible in the past.

A medical marvel.

So how is your weather perdiction skills now? ;)

No big deal. Just look for the closest ball joint in a JC Whitney
calatog. ;-)

I was amused to discover that Amazon.com carries ball joints for craft
applications.
