The Funny Plate Got Screwed

A little over two weeks ago I fractured my right proximal humerus. I had surgery to install a plate to put everything back together and hold it all in place. Today I visited the doctor for a post surgery review. The prognosis is good (start physical therapy in two weeks and get a return-to-work review in four) and I feel happy to finally be "on the mend". The below 3D "sketch" is my portrayal of what the x-ray that was taken today shows. Yes, that's right: one rather largish plate and nine screws... a rather significant piece of hardware, if you ask me.
