A year and a half ago, my friend’s mom fractured her wrist while harvesting bamboo shoots. They thought it was nothing serious but when they went to the hospital, the doctor said she needed surgery.
Fast forward to now, last week the bolts in her wrist were removed. She sent me a picture and I can’t believe those were once inside a human being’s body for such a long time. Look so painful

Have you ever seen something like that in the photo above?

I've heard of horses needing to have a leg bone screwed together so the horse could use it again. The veterinarian used something similar to hold the bone in place.
I hope your friend's mom is fine now.

@sol_cee Yes, for the horse's own good. If the bone had been broken too badly, the veterinarian would have advised the owner to put the horse to put the horse down...
I recently switched phone companies but everything was working fine with the new Sim card the first day but then I couldn't send text messages so Pretty called the company to troubleshoot the phone. Each time she's called to have the phone repaired something else stops working. Now I can't make or receive phone calls or send texts. She's on the phone with the phone company again.
My phone is our main phone and all my doctors have that number. We really need my phone to work.

I haven't seen them in real life but I have seen in movies people who have been fractured, the bolts or nails being used to hold the pieces together

@sol_cee yep at one point I saw a guy who was using clutches he had those nuts and hadn't been removed since he couldn't afford every time I would see him I would have shiver cause I imagined the pain he was going through
