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 single simple transistor. :)

Good luck,

no, Jim is up in the Ghz range, its a wave guide!

Clearly it's a MEMS ;-)

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..

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...

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? 8-) 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? ;)

Cheers

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

See if your orthopedic surgeon has an account with them. ;-)
