Thank you to everyone that joined the Alphabet Photography Project over the past week with letter W. Hard to believe we’ve almost reached the end – until the next one anyway!
Well letter X is a tricky one. Although attempts were made to be a little more creative, I settled on a fuzzy x-ray. This is my left wrist which is home to some rather impressive metalwork. The plate arrived when I broke the radius and ulna bones in 2011, POD wasn’t even a year old. This x-ray was taken after a second operation last year.
What you see before you was the result of a procedure called Sauve Kapanji. It involved stabilising the wrist joint with pins, creating a new one by breaking my arm below the wrist and removing a 6mm portion of bone. It’s all very clever and you’d never know today it’s any different, I guess that’s what makes this x-ray a little bit special.
How to join in
The Alphabet Photography Project runs every Wednesday. A Linky is live from that day until the following Tuesday so you can upload a short post or an Instagram photo. If you include a link back to PODcast I’m happy to share it for you.
You can post a photo on Instagram (PODcast is here) using the hashtag #alphabetphoto. There are Pinterest, Facebook and Google+ groups too.
Ideas for letter X
The #alphabetphoto theme can be interpreted in any way you choose. Your letter might be a photograph for example, an object that resembles a letter or an adjective. Have a look at the letter X hints in last week’s post. If you get really stuck, an online Scrabble dictionary is a good point of reference!

Impressive metal work! Do you still have it now?

That sure is impressive, bet that was fun looking after a 1 year old too!
What an interesting x-ray! It sounds rather painful!
That’s a pretty impressive X-Ray! The injury doesn’t sound like any fun at all, but at least you’ve got something cool to show for it 🙂 x
I was not very inventive I am afraid! 🙂 x
That looked painful, I remember when you hurt your arm, how is it these days??
Oh my, that’s a complicated surgery! The wonders of science…
