Hey Guys and gals,
Hope you are all well.
Saw my surgeon today, and will be going under the knife again.
Looks like he is going to use fasicles of my auxillary nerve to try to reinnervate my deltoid.
He said that recently he had performed some surgery on a woman, and found that when he made the incision deeper, he found a wealth of useable nerve fibres.
That my second surgery, the nerve might not have been strong enough for the reinnervation to occur.
This surgery should only take around 2 1/2 hours...and no catheter...you dont know how happy that makes me
So will be within the next 4 weeks.
so fingers and toes crossed on this one.
God bless
