<t>Kath, I think C4 was damaged and there was something in the report of being fully avulsed. I went to Mayo in '88<br/> and saw Dr. Wood. He spoke of nerve tranplant surgery which at the time was a new thing. I didn't want huge scars up my chest and decided to hold off to see if I would regain the ...

<t>I am Ray from Carpentersville, Illinois, near the Fox river.. My motocross days are long gone, but I recieved my TBPI Jan. '87 with my old motocross buddy in a car he just got. I was thrown thru the t-top James Bond style and was in a coma for 33 days. Fast forward to now where I underwent gracil...

<t>I have been away also-working full time as an insurance adjustor, living in a new house with my new wife.<br/> I'm getting pretty bummed out with my recovery 11 months after my gracilis nerve transfer though.

I am still wearing an arm sling which I will start to wean off. I perform my own therapy by muscle stimulation and range of motion exer...

I also had a Steindler flexorplasty and ulnar nerve transfer done at the same time. My surgery was just done November 23, 2005 so I am still waiting to see if it will...

<t>In November I had a free Gracillis muscle transfer, with a Steindler and ulnar nerve transfer. The surgeons at Mayo (Shin, Bishop & Spinner) said the surgery went very well. I did not suffer much pain, just discomfort from wearing the cast for 6 weeks. So far, so good. It will be some time be...
