Hi everyone, Or should I say, everyone that remembers me? I'm sure you'll remember Jeff, my husband that has a RTBPI from being hit by a tree? Well, the last time I posted, Jeff had just had surgery. Well, it's been four months since then and he is regaining his bicep and tricep. He has intense physical therapy 3 times a week and with their help, he's regained so much in the last six weeks I can't believe it. Sorry it's taken so long to get back on board, but it's been a little hectic around here. With only my husband and I here, all the responsibility of everything lies on my shoulders. Well, low and behold, I had to have surgery the end of April for a NON cancerous growth. (thank God) But for six weeks, things kinda went to sh** around here. But with the help of Jeffs family, we came through it okay. I'll try to stay in touch better this time. But anyway, Jeff's next Dr. appt. is July first. So we'll see what's next on his agenda. I really missed you guys. Thanks for listening. Debi

I'm glad things are getting better....Too bad about your surgery but wow great news about Jeff's!!!
Keep up the good work.

Great news Debi !! Good the tricep is kicking in. This is the radial nerve, which usually gets the brunt of the injury. Encouraging that it is back up and working. Therapy will help a lot now. Tell Jeff to hang in there....those muscles will strengthen with a little time and some work.

Good luck with your surgery in April. Good the growth is not the bad type ) And good luck with Jeff's doc visit. Very encouraging news.....thanks for the update !!

Hi Debi, that's such great news about Jeff, I know you were worrying about the surgery and I remember his injury was pretty severe, that's looking like a great result. Sorry to hear you had surgery too, maybe that's the lot now! Best wishes Jen NZ
