Hi
I had something similar, only it was surgery on my neck. A laminectomey?sp?. When I woke up, my right arm was totally numb. I was in worse shape than before the surgery! The partner doing rounds said it was the position I was in. And it wasn't just my arm that was numb, my upper right chest and shoulder (scapular) area. When I tried to brush my teeth, the toothbrush landed in my left ear, because I had no muscle control. It took a good part of 2 years for most of the numbness to go away. I still have no feeling in my right thumb or pointer finger. Makes typing hard! I'm 5 1/2 years after that surgery now.

My point is, it may go away pretty much, and just leave a toe or two numb. I can deal with these two fingers.

Good luck!!!!!
