LOL now that is a good question! That was implanted in my leg, how they got that damn thing in there is beyond me. I have that and the screws, all internal. And I wasn't really bruised.

It was done at Allegheny General here in Pittsburgh, really fine hospital if you ask me.

So now I have a motorcycle story, not as good as Franks, but mine non the less

Jeezy Petes, man!! I bet you get tired of them breaking that wand out on you at the airport, huh? I'm glad you're good to go now. I remember after having my right knee done, I got back on too soon as well. Swole that puppy up something good a few times. It takes a surprising amount to hold these big girls up straight, more than what those w/out knee or leg problems realize.

Billet I presume?

What is really cool is I can see how to modify it so you can have a kickstand you carry with you so this won't happen again. I knew I shoudl have been a surgeon.

IF nothing else it ought to be a lot of fun trying to get past those idiots at the TSA when you fly. I'd recommend youc arry the xray with you or you are going to get the "extra special" invasive glove search!

Keep on truckin bro!

I have almost the same setup and have to strip down to my boxers everytime I fly somewhere. I've only made a few trips in the past ten years but you can expect it both ways.

PS: Don't go for that rubber glove treatment. Tell em you want a second opinion!

Re:Did I mention this hurt? 2 Months, 2 Weeks ago  
I have a pretty similar deal going on. Been about 10 weeks since my surgery. I broke my tib and fib and they drilled a hole down through my tibia and drove a titanium rod all the way down through my bone and pinned it top and bottom. Not much fun at all. I still haven't been able to ride yet. If it makes you feel any better you are not alone. Hope everything goes well and you heal up quick.

Re:Did I mention this hurt? 2 Months, 2 Weeks ago  
Hey there Paulray, they were going to do that exact same thing to me, but as luck would have it, the only place that I had any road rash at all was right on top of my knee, no bigger than a silver dollar and because of that, they didn't want to go threw it to put the rod in. So I got option 2....

Do me a favor and do what they say, stay the hell off of it like they want you to. Its not worth it.

I speak from experience.
