Under the knife take 2

I especially like the 2 screws going into my tibia(shin bone). It feels like I have a cement block hanging off my foot.


This is the next external apparatus that they installed. The rod in my heel is gone, but now there is 3 wires that go in one side of my tibia and out the other.



The stitches on this side is were they plated and screwed my fibula back together.

it looks like one of those devices used to make people taller. of course i couldn't find any pictures of those devices online, but i swear i remember seeing it on 20/20 back in '89.

It actually is similair. I went to high school with a girl who was born a dwarf and she had her legs lengthened. Hers was a bit more complicated though. Shad to turn the screws a 1/4 turn each day to stretch out her skin and separate the bone. Rich's is supposed to keep them together.

There was a graphic illustration in an episode of CSI featuring little people. It was gross.
