Wow. Those screws are serious!

I'm glad your bones are healing, hate that nerves are so much trickier! Maybe they will come up with something, but in the meantime, not a lot you can do about nerves.

A friend of mine broke a finger playing basketball and had plates and screws put in. I've been lucky in that regard, nothing to that extent.

You have to be careful with back and spine. That doesn't like to heal so well! Take care of it. Yes, it might mean not doing what you want for a time, but the time is well spent on getting healthy.

On the flip side, it is true that we never know how much time we have. I lost a friend to cancer last year, he was way to young. But you just never know what the future holds.

Gotta live while you are able.

Thanks for sharing this @firepower. All the best in your recovery. best hurry it up, there's a lot to do at SteemFest! hahaha
