My test went well friday!!!
I found out that I am on the "better" side of the injury. I have always been told that the C5 nerves had been completely torn yet to my wonderful suprise they havnt. They were only stretched during birth and paqrtial re-growth has occured.
Hopefully if insurance pays well and my proffesors at college let me have time off I will have the procedure done in late October early November.
November the 1 is my 29 birthday, what a wonderful birthday present that will be!!!!!
I was told that I would have a procedure done where as old scar tissue would be removed and a nerve from other parts of the brachial Plexus will be "re-routed" if I understood correctly.
Those of you that know what I am talking about probably know what the surgery is called, what is it?
What I am looking forward too?
How long was recovery for you?
How much does it cost?
and the biggggg question is-------
How much use of the arm will I have afterwards?
well Thanks for any insight
