Hi Kate! Thanks!

How was your New Years? Did you say your plate is coming out? How long did you have it in?

My brother just broke his left foot two days ago. Rolled my dad's ATV over, and stuck his foot out to stop it...as an automatic reaction. Broke it in three places and got all kinds of metal drilled in him as of last night. The doctor performed surgery in the middle of the night.

My New Year's was fine. Kinda boring. The plate was put in last July. So I guess it was in for about five months. When I had it put in, the doctor there said it would have to be in for at least a year but my worker's comp person assured my mother that it was perfectly fine at my age to get it out sooner than that, especially since the bone was healed and the plate was causing problems.

Yikes! That sounds a lot more painful than mine was. I just tripped and twisted my ankle. (Still have no clue how that managed to break it.) I hope he has a high tolerance for pain. Or a lot of pain meds.
