Wow Scott... sounds pretty bad.
I've been in the OR for some hardware removal procedures. We would like to think of our surgery as delicate operations with everything happening as expected... but it can be pretty brutal. Your bent screw in a board analogy works well, but you have to put the board inside your body and surround it with tissues that you don't want damaged.... that block the view of what's being worked on.... not a pretty sight.
I hope to hear great things about your recovery and your next adventure. Someday, I'll get up to Alaska and you'll have to take me snowmobiling into the back country!
