recent surgery
Posted: Thu Mar 24, 2005 8:51 pm
well, i just had surgery to help my c5 & c6 injury with dr. nath. he cut me in bicep, my neck and my armpit to attach the injured nerves to healthy nerves since i still had my hand. this nerve transfer, not a nerve graph, should help get me 80% of my bicep back. and if im lucky, i will be able to raise my arm 90 degrees to my body but probably not over my head. is this making sense, i hope so. i am taking it easy for 3 weeks before i get back to therapy. my hand hurts a bit. the hypersensativity is back and should go away after a few weeks, but im hoping for the best. iwill keep u guys, my new family, updated. my computer is on the blink, so i am not ignoring u if i dont answer qustions right away. wish me luck.
