Unless the bone doesn't get proper blood flow. Will know in six months. Worst case, bad blood flow to the bone, they will take the whole thing out and replace with a fake ball and upper arm. Seems to be healing nicely. No tendon or nerve damage. Actually its all done for extra power for next years Blowout race! Kind of wonder if it will trip the metal detectors at the airport? Yes it will trip the metal detectors , It could be worse, my doc told me "50 years ago we would have cut that OFF!" The creepyness of different materials wears off , sooner or later ? Makes one apperciate the changes in weather so much more but "you will never break that there again" if that's any consolation Sasquatch Since 09 Mar 2005 2103 Posts PNW Bigfoot Tue Nov 03, 09 9:18 am    Re: Mark Got Screwed Mark wrote: Here is pic from todays Xray. Hey Mark, next time you think you might do something like that to yourself, let me know ahead of time so I can buy futures in titanium and stainless steel. I'll share my windfall 60/40--you can have the 60% . Actually, quite an impressive x-ray. Hope the healing process is ahead of schedule. Take it easy Mark. pjc Since 06 Mar 2005 649 Posts Addicted Tue Nov 03, 09 9:58 am     blowhard wrote: It could be worse, my doc told me "50 years ago we would have cut that OFF!"

Ohh you baby, and here I thought you really broke your shoulder. Too bad they didn't use steel in there, then you could have worn cool refrigerator magnets on your shoulder. pkh Since 27 Feb 2005 6549 Posts Couve / Hood Honored Founder Tue Nov 03, 09 7:26 pm     Yeah that's some sick reinforcement upgrades and betcha still have more cartilage than my left shoulder!
