Polydactyly

Through the twelve days of christmas we did some surgery...

12 carpal tunnels
11 knee debridements
10 hardware outs
9 rotator cuffs
8 cheilectomies
7 lacerations
6 clavicles

5 O R I Fs!

4 infected wounds
3 tendons
BILATERAL shoulders

And a hand with a Polydactyly!

Alas, made me think of a 'hardware out' that was never done on my L ankle, compound fx l tibia, bunch of torn ligaments....not only was post pt never done, nor was metal removal. regret it now.

gz,

Nope, this is the busy time.

Should,
Well, most hardware is left in, unless it's causing problems. Sorry if yours is causing problems. Sorry about the injury. Ligaments never completely heal right. Sorry for reminding you.

Ah, those ligaments. Remember that broken leg I had several years ago? The right leg had given me fits this season. Thank goodness I'm a tough German and am doing my stretches. Love your poem!

Only bones I've ever broken are my two pinky fingers (different incidents). I now regret not having them set straight because I can't wear pinky rings. And all us gangstas wanna wear pinky rings.
