Yes, OP, I'll have to have a doctor's letter when I fly describing the prothesis; or at least that's what I've been told.

I'm enjoying the time with my daughter and son-in-law. They come to the hospital every other day.

I haven't heard about any mudslides being close to the hospital.
I love to walk barefooted through squishy mud, but I need to wait a few weeks.

I know your Momma already told you not to step in cowpies when the sun is shining.

Get yourself better there so you can go squishing in the mud some more.

Take care friend.

TC, you will remember when I totalled my poor Olds Cutlass Ciera two years ago and my right arm was badly broken, the orthopedic surgeon put back into the elbow socket the upper bone, and then 'spliced' together the two shafts of the ulna with a 6" titanium rod.

It was told to me then it would *not* set off an airport alarm.
Haven't flown since then to test that...

TC, do what my hubby does at airports...

He wears sweats when flying (now that he's officially retired), and when he approaches security, he announces that he has a steel hip. Then he immediately touches the waistband of his pants and offers to "show his incision scar." To date, no one has been willing to take him up on the offer!

(He's kind of an ornery old cuss. Just like someone else I know! ;-)
