really didn't hurt that bad when they removed the pins, and it did feel wierd.

what hurt worse was they left the pins to long when they put the cast on, and they would snagg on the inside of the cast. had to have the cast cut off and the pins trimmed down and recasted.

what i learned from the experience was morphine doesn't remove the pain, you just don't care about it, got two shots after i came out of surgery. and i really hate percocets, the bathroom side effect is a problem.
