you're gonna use pliers?

Had an arm check up today... everything is healing perfectly fine. He decided to take out the two pins that seemed to be constantly irritated. How does this happen? He took hold of my wrist in his left hand and a pair of fancy-schmancy medical pliers in his right and attacked. He pulled, he twisted, and they reluctantly came out. No, there was no pain, but definitely a weird feeling of pressure and a little ache... and very little blood.

Not bad. Just very surreal to see a thick steel pin being pried out of your arm like a nail.

The best part? The rest come out on the 19th... 11 a.m.... and I cannot wait! Oh all the things I'll do... like flex my wrist and rotate my radius and ulna... probably with much work and a fair amount of pain :)
