953 nut 51,520 #14 Posted October 16, 2015 Bob makes a goo point, I have titanium in my back and he will soon. The "Golden Years" refers to the gold the medical community make from us old codgers. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rmaynard 14,864 #15 Posted October 16, 2015 I'll be 70 in January. I check the obituaries in the news paper everyday and I haven't seen my name yet. I do the same thing, but I see lots of young people (55 and under), and lots of really old (85 and over) (sorry Russ), and at 65 I feel very lucky. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I joined the "Titanium Club" on June 24 - with my six inch plate and eight screws. 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

shallowwatersailor 3,213 #19 Posted October 17, 2015 (edited) Don't forget that zipper there too. Those were the staples. Now that the swelling is down, the incision is just a faint line. But the plate is somewhat noticeable. I'm hoping that they don't have to go in again to remove it. I've heard horror stories of it being rejected at about 1 year!

I'm not sure if I can set off the detectors at the airport, as I self-volunteered for the scanner instead. TSA was appreciative of that. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JimD 3,345 #22 Posted October 17, 2015 I don't have any plates, screws or bolts to talk about but the last few years have been a real roller coaster ride health-wise to say the least. I do still have a triple lumen Hickman central line but you don't want pics of that. So it's more of an illness than injury situation for me unless I get too weak from the treatments to walk unassisted. On a lighter note, I got a negative result from the spinal tap I had on Tuesday. No leukemia cells detected. So things are looking up and I hope so for all of you as well. 11 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
