hahah julia, i cant believe you started this! thanks everyone for your kind words and support! im actually looking forward to this day so i can be somewhat normal again. believe it or not, im not scared at all. the only worry i have is if i will be able to make it to see Nick Warren! if i do, youll see me with a cane. the washers and perverts wont get away this easy! 
to get an idea, this is only a part of what theyll be removing:
left pic: right radial bone fixation and elbow wires running thru the ulna
right pic: left tibia internal fixation
