It's good that they're keeping an eye on Jen's screws.
I have a screw in my ankle after a car crash in 1976. A year after it was put in I had a checkup, and the consultant was surprised to see the screw was still there. "Why is the screw still there" he asked "Because you haven't taken it out" I replied (It was the same consultant surgeon who did the initial op). "Oh well" he said "it's too late to remove it now, you'll have to live with it". I wasn't impressed with that hospital (Cardiff Royal Infirmary) at all. When the plaster was first removed the physiotherapist told me to not put any weight on the ankle for at least 3 months. 3 months later I saw the same physio, who was surprised that I had very little movement in the ankle, and asked me if I'd been using it. I replied that she'd told me to not put any weight on my ankle, and she repled that she told every patient that but most didn't take any notice!
