Breakthrough

Post by Brandon_3 »

Hi everyone! I hope everyone is doing well. I am back now. I had my surgery exactly three weeks ago at the U of W with Dr. Kliot. the only thing he did was clean out the massive amounts of scar tissue. There were no grafts or transfers, despite the damage to the upper trunk the nerves seemed to be healing on their own. So the Dr. decided that the best way was to let em' heal up on their. To me that just wasn't good enough, I had all these high hopes and thought he should've done more which put me into the deeprst darkest depressions ever. Not even the accident had me down like this. At least then I had hope. Man it was so bad, I came home and laid on the couch for 17 straight days and did not move for anything. Then this Saturday I got a peice of mail from Dr. Kliot and in it was a letter, and in that letter, Dr. Kliot explained to me in terms I could understand that my nerves are regenerating and many of them including my bicep were inervated. If not, close to it. So I immediateley began working my bicep. And here we are today with some progress, I can flex my bi-cep and move-it. I am so freeeking excited, Its all I want to do. Anywaysw this running pretty long so......
Love Ya
