I remember you posting from your hospital bed. The hospital staff were lovely but I'm pleased I've spent most of my time at home!I had no issues. The Senior Nurse brought her laptop over to me and said 'you are going no-where matey - look at these'. She just happened to be an old classmate of mine and was married to an equally stupid cyclist, so knew 'the score'. Busted. 6 1/2 weeks later was I allowed out of hospital bed.

Did they fit a 3.5mm plug to your knee, so you can listen to the radio they’ve installed ?

I'm hoping to use the internal magnet to pick up lost screws, etc.

Surely they’d stick with a more reliable and appropriate socket?

I've got quite a bit of metalwork in my ankle now too.
I wonder will all the added weight affect my speed on hills
On my next physio appointment on the 18th, she is going to let me have a go on an exercise bike and am really excited as it is surely one step closer to getting back on a proper bike again

Recover quickly, Anne!
Do people with metalwork like this have a lifetime ban from MRI scanners? What happens in case of an accident/illness, if the person in question is not able to mention the scaffolding? I wear a medical dog tag explaining that I am on warfarin, in case I am knocked out in an accident. Would you need to wear similar, or carry a card?

I'm not known for speed either and I suspect any extra weight caused by added metalwork will be dwarfed by weight added by inactivity and overeating through boredomGreat news @tyred.
Don't expect the extra weight will make much difference to me. I'm not known for my speed
It is such a great feeling when you know when you're on the mend.
It is scary though putting weight on it for the first time and takes time to build confidence and get the hang of things again.
I don't know to be honest. I was told mine wouldn't have any effect on the likes of the security scanners at airports as it is not made from steel.
No idea how it would affect MRI scanners and never thought to ask.
