sawxray,

Oh my gosh am I glad to the news about Dr. Avery performing this procedure....when I last spoke w/Dr. Sanders he couldn't commmet. Thanks for the wonderful news....Sorry if touched a sore spot about the 1st rib surgery....it looks like your new to this site, so you mightt not have had a chance to read the many posts from others who have had the surgery, but still suffer. It seems the ones that do better are the patients who have had truama, not ongoing like me for 10+ years....but the again the ones who are better have moved on and we aren't hearing from them. I hope I can be like them.

Thanks for all your info. I was planning to ask you where you worked to see about an appointment....but it sounds like I'll be meeting you soon.

Ann
