About Steve »

I am a former Officer and NCO from the US Army Special Forces. I now work as a Security Advisor for the film industry and get to still travel all over the world.
I have followed all of the local Boston sports teams since the 1960's. I went to my first Patriots' games at Fenway Park and Harvard Stadium, back in the days before they had a permanent home.

It was definately a pain. Especially at night, roll over and hit your self in the head with it.

No plates in it. You can't see in the photo but he also cut my wrist open right behind the gear works to try and rebuild it. Unfortunately when he wen't in he couldn't get anything to take since so much of it was tiny pieces. He put in what look like really big push pins to kind of push all the pieces close together and let the body figure it out. Will likely have issues as I get older. But I have really cool looking scars, lol.

My father was in the 101st for most of my childhood and he would often tell me about somone that got hurt. I also have a brother in-law that was in the 82nd and got his leg caught in the riser causing him to rip his sternum. I guess all I can say is I don't envy them.

Steve,

I never know if I should answer here or on the other persons board so I'll do both.

That's not all I can do with the other hand. lol

No, actually it's an injury from about 4 years ago. It's my brush with steroids. I was assaulted by some dipsh$#@@#$ and ended up having a shattered ulna. The surgeon that worked on it said he hadn't seen anything like it since he was an Army surgeon for the 82nd at Ft. Bragg.
