...Remove all bits of titanium from my body in 2013...lucky then that earlier today I planned the operation to remove the plate from my left forearm for Friday 18th January. I had the plate put in a couple of years ago after a fall with Quolchique Saint Aubin which resulted in a triple fracture. The operation to remove it will require an overnight stay, although it will be performed using only a local anesthetic. I actually had a similar fall and break about 6 years ago. At that time the operation required a general anesthetic and the recovery was much more difficult. Two years ago I remember being struck by how medicine had moved on in only 4 years as I watched the anesthetist put my arm to sleep one nerve at a time over a period of 30 minutes or so. In a weird sort of way, I'm intrigued to see what happens in a couple of weeks.
