Wait... what ???
I'm sorry Shaunn. You had surgery yesterday to do what?
I swear I get so caught up and so lost in these boards.
I have so from the very beginning when it took Sue to knock on my head and suggested I try the ADULT BOARDS instead of the kids or ob.
The other day I found myself running all over the 'net' as per jennyb's suggestions and totaly lost out on asking Janelle where she was to have her procedure today. I was going to have one of my brothers or sisters bring some flowers by for her.
Damn I feel rotten.
I'll try and look backwards to see what's up.
Peace and laughter

I'm sorry missed this, I was in the warm sunshine of Naples Florida and couldn't get to this back here in this cold Ohio. Be sure and keep us posted!! I wish you and everyone else on this board a safe and Happy Thanksgiving even though you and some others are not from the ole USA!!

well saw my surgeon today....scar is over the one i had before, but is a foot long over the back of my arm
He thinks im looking @ 4 months till reinnervation occurs.
Im currently doing research into human growth hormone and its effects on peripheral nerves..regeneration etc..
anyone had experience in this?
I should be over stateside christmas eve for a few weeks
happy thanksgiving..
i know i will be tucking into some apple pie
god bless

So glad your surgery went well and I can't believe how quickly you recovered! My husband had a similiar surgery in March, and I thought he was up quickly- but wow! He wouldn't have been up for typing a few hours later! Just a side note: My husband's deltoid was just starting to reinervate at his 6 month check (he also had a tricep branch moved to his delt). I know every surgery is different and everyone heals differently so I say that only out of encouragement-we were really starting to worry that we weren't noticing anything at the 6 month mark only to learn that things were just starting to roll, and the Mayo team was actually pretty encouraged by how quickly the nerve had grown- so don't get discouraged if the muscle isn't reinervated at the 4 month mark! Best of luck!
