[TheForge] Human rebuild redux

[Jerry Frost]

Thanks for the good wishes everybody. I'm bored but 
doing well, no complications this go round and we'll 
see how it heals this time.

One of my last surgeries got a BMP implant which for 
some reason didn't take very well. This time they tried 
the OP-1 bone growing juice. The big difference and 
what I believe will make the difference is this time 
they removed the plates, pulled the non-healing ends 
apart, filed the ends down and painted the ends with 
the OP-1 before jamming them into hard contact and 
replating.

Flexibility is improving daily; the day before 
yesterday I couldn't touch my face, last night I could 
and this morning I can put food in my mouth. As I'm 
sure you guys understand I'm REALLY happy about being 
able to put food in my mouth. <grin>

Even though I've had to undergo more surgery than a 
perfect fix would need I'm very happy to live somewhere 
I have a really good chance of gainning nearly full use 
of my elbow. It wasn't that long ago the doc would've 
asked what angle I wanted my arm to be for the rest of 
my life. Not many years before that and they would've 
fixed it right above my elbow. I could've forged a hook 
for myself though. <grin>

Like I say I'm bored but on balance not unhappy.

Thanks again,

Frosty
