Anyone have a rod and/or plate removed from their leg?

Last June, I was training for a 140 mile charity ride. I was training with a large group. I got t-boned by a car going 40 mph. I flew 50 feet and broke my ankle on both sides, my tibia, fibia, and my shoulder.

The Dr. said I would be off the bike for 6 months, but I was back on 77 days...
