Hardware

7 screws holding 5 pieces together, man I busted that thing good. Got a nice 5" long incision cut with about 15 staples holding it shut. Feeling pretty good today though, I can ride the trainer when it's comfortable, which won't be long taking vicodin.

If this happened to Rambo he would have fixed it himself on the side of the trail with some sheet metal and a screwdriver.

Lynne is heading off to surgery at 9:30 AM today. Thanks for sharing your story, it kind of helped her deal with her situation. We'll see how many screw and staples she gets. See you at the races!

Is that a floater screw on the bottom? Looks like its going up not down? That's cool you can see the staples. Good luck with your recovery. Glad your not in too much pain. Keep it mobile or you'll suffer long term.
