    Aftermarket Parts

    Some parts just aren`t made as well as the manufacturer does. This is my foot post surgery.

    I think the brake pads I reluctantly bought at AutoZone are made out of the same parts.

    Mi Hermano -
    Holy Cow !!!
    They look like black oxide deck screws or something..
    In the 2nd pic, did that one screw break off ??? Ay -Caramba !!!
    Hope it is all mending well and the bones knit back..

    On a happier note, you will probably never get through the Airport easily again..
    And just in time, you are Benched for the Annual Turkey Bowl too...
    Get well and stay well, - we need you !

    Re: Aftermarket Parts

    There are 4 incisions but it`s in a cast so I don`t really know what it looks like. They take this cast off in 2 weeks and remove the staples and then re-cast it. I`ll look at it then and maybe take a pic.

    dude tell the truth, you twisted your ankle during a badminton tournament.
    now that`s nasty. looks like they ran out of bone and had to screw into other screws to hold things together. hope everything heals up ok and you get back to motivating around again very soon. Godspeed my friend.

    Re: Aftermarket Parts

    you do need to be a little more creative when anyone asks what happened. like " i injured it during a spec ops mission that i am not currently at liberty to discuss. you know, i could tell you but then i`d have to kill you kind of stuff".
