Well it's finally here...
(i'm not sure if I should end that in an exclamation point or not so I leaned on the good ole' ellipses)
After my EMG today (the 4th in 4 months) the doctors finally decided that indeed my nerves aren't coming back on their own and they are going to go ahead with surgery.
They will make an incision on the backside of my left arm that will run from my shoulder to my elbow and they'll attempt to find the nerves (overtime nerves retract so there is a possibility the surgery might not even work) and they'll hook nerves from my tricep to the unresponsive nerves.
My surgery is tomorrow (the 15th) at Barnes Jewish Hospital in St. Louis.
Wish Me Luck!!
(the most annoying thing is that even if the surgery works it might take a year to kick in...blah)
