I had better make friends with all that metal cause it ain't coming out. Its there for the long haul. I shouldn't have to have it operated on again unless something gets messed up or I get arthritis (I'm 26- that had better be a long time from now!)

I'm told that all that metal will trip a detector in a courthouse, but would pass at the airport. Doesn't say much for airport security. There'* that much metal in the average pocket knife. What are they looking for- broadswords and shotguns?

Sorry to hear about you accident. Glad you and your kids are alright,it'* going to be awhile for your elbow to be close to what you had before but atleast you still have an arm. Sorry to hear about the Trucker, they usually have a better chance in an accident.Somebody was watching out for you and your Kids!
