The camera made me do it!

couldn't come with a witty caption to this photo of my arm.

apparently the plate attached to the broken radius is doing a great job, unfortunately my wound isn't healing up too well, so I'm stuck with these gruesome clips for at least another week

It looks like they've installed a zip! I hope it heals properly soon. Can't be very pleasant waling around with an arm full of staples.

it looks rather gruesome, but on the plus side . . . erm, actually I don't think there is a plus side

I guess I could scare kids and steal their candy??

that is horrendous - the plus side is the plate is doing it's job - if it wasn't....

Sprocket says:

the plus side is that I'll have an awesome scar . . . and a suitably awesome (totally fabricated) tale to tell about how I got it

Actually, for a stapled incision, it looks really good, not much inflammation, nice clean edges and staple holes. This from a survivor of a 10 inch abdominal incision that was stapled back together and didn't heal cleanly. Now that it's getting air it may heal faster Sprocket, I hope so.

That looks really awful and painful. So what large thing will you have gotten in a fight with when you fabricate your story? Sending healing vibes by the way.
