Have some jewelry made out of it; titanium is cool.

You jumped as high as an adult man? On an uphill? On a waterbar? Well,
I want to be you when I grow up... :-)
heal fast Tami! Btw, I know a very good PT clinic, it is a bit far
from my house, but they did wonders to my rebuilt knee! I've got a
screw and a big staple in me, but I won't be removing this. Good thing
insurance paid my surgery, I'd have to sell my soul to pay for it, as
it cost almost as much as a single bedroom apartment in a nice area of
town....

Hmmm. 150-180 centimetres... I've seen joints break from less than that and
with more athletic and robust riders than you probably are. If you shifted
your weight more on the forefoot instead of in direct connection between
ankle and footpeg, there's also considerable leverage. Forcing tibia and
fibula apart can result in quite spectacular shatter fractures.
A friend of mine overjumped a ~70ft table and came down from a height of
about 13ft right into the flat. That was the point where he had to say
goodbye to his job as a roofer and look for some office job.
Cheers,
Volker
