Was there a sale on titanium screws?

I don’t know what I expected but it wasn’t a repair that involved 14 screws and two plates.  Holy moly!  Really????  Surgery was well over 4 hours and when I woke up I was wheeled up to my room where I promptly asked Scott, “did I hurt my bike?”  Scott had already seen the x-rays of the repair so he knew far more than I did and at that moment didn’t care about my bike.  (In fact, I’m quite sure he wouldn’t be upset if it was run over by a truck and crushed into little pieces.)
