I’d volunteer to be knee deep in hell.

I hope you got titanium. It’s bio compatible with bone and will fuse together. Took about ten years for me. I was told it’s not important to have a fibula but I think mine probably merged back together since it doesn’t feel like razor blades in my leg.

Muscle contractions and spasms will be indistinguishable between pain or pleasure. Just kidding, it will hellish if you get dehydrated and get muscle spasms. You don’t need it. Source, got a rod myself.

I wonder if this is something that changed over time. As in preservatives and all sorts of chemicals being added to tobacco or alcohol. For example, I can smoke Japanese cigarettes without a problem. I’ve smoked Vietnam era MRE cigarettes, Old Ukrainian unfiltered cigarettes. But I can’t smoke US made ones since around 2007, they make me sick and taste like ash.

I agree. Sitting my yass all day playing video games? Sure, 4-6 hours will be okay. Doing yard work and manual labor in 110 degree weather, I’ll see you in 14 hours. Also, I have sleep apnea so I’m used to feeling dead all day.
