Yup, Ti screws and plate -- it will make me faster, right?Originally Posted by SadieKate
My first night in a real bed....FAIL. I could not get comfortable, tossed and turned. Finally got up, made my "bed" in the recliner and zonked for the night. I guess I'm still more comfy in a semi-upright position. The good news is I got more than 4 hours of sleep! Yay!

Most of the time she is my "nurse", hanging out by my side. At dinner time, or when it's time for a snack, she becomes my mother's dog. Originally Posted by jobob

Hey Snap,
Glad to hear your healing is going so well! Hopefully you'll be able to get 8+ hours of sleep in your own bed soon.
I had a titanium rod & pins in my leg and didn't set off security, so I like your chances! Should we have the oddsmakers in Vegas take bets on how your first trip thru security works out?

PS I can bring my "hardware" for show & tell any time....I'll get back on the bike soon, I promise!

Yup, I'm titanium too & have never set off an airport alarm.
Snap, did they go through your throat? I think that's the typical way. I have a nice 3" scar on my throat now. You'd think they'd go through the back so we could grow our hair & cover the scar.
In physical therapy, they work on range of motion exercises - turning your head in different directions. I told the PT I just needed to be able to turn left - to see the cars on my bike.
It was awhile before I could get on the bike because the vibration really hurt my neck. Who knew? I did try to ride once with my cervical collar. Cars really avoided me. "Look at the nutcase on the bike!"To train a dog, you must be more interesting than dirt.

Glad the healing's going well Snap!
DH has a plate in one thumb that dates back to the 1970s - I'm pretty sure it's steel not Ti because of how old it is. In all our travels it's set off a metal detector exactly once. He has a visible scar and it was easy to isolate the thumb with the wand, so they didn't give him too much trouble. Should be the same or better for you.
Now, a lumbar fusion or an artificial hip might be harder to isolate to TSA's satisfaction...
