That X-ray is just horrific. I'd say NEXT year's elk hunting is in question.
Best wishes for a speedy and full recovery. And airport metal detectors will be more complicated to get through, I would think.
I hate ladders. I just built a house and first thing I did was buy 3 really good ladders. I still hate them. Between R&R'ing the old construction and building the new, It took about 6 weeks of "roof time" before I was done with things up there. By the end I'd kinda lost my nerve. I was so damn glad to get off that roof in one piece.
