Hope they used stailless hardware too!

Keep up the spirit and heal quick! With all that space in the vegi isle, you could set up an obatacle course and keep your skills up on the scooter!!!

I had a pinned collarbone for a while after a crash years ago. When they went to remove it, X-Ray's showed that it had actually bent. As a result, they could not reverse-drill it out and simply cut a little slice in the skin above where it was screwed in from, clamped a pair of VISE-GRIPs on it and PULLED it out!

Best wishes for a speedy recovery!

Watch the speed limit with that scoot.......they have pretty high roll over rate on the wax floor.

Heal fast and ride safe.

Glad you are doing OK. I rode one of those scoots when I had both knees replaced. I kept knocking over stuff at Wally World.

Lucky 02, I feel your pain. I have recently received a few plates and screws in my pelvis due to a cage making a left in front of me. Spent almost a month in the hospital. Just getting back to riding after 6 months.
Hope you heal ASAP. If you don't mind me asking, what happened to make you the recipient of that hardware?
