Default Redos can be very successful

Just a quick note....

I usually don't post, but this caught my eye...

I am 3 and 3 1/2 years on bilateral redos and proof that they can work. While I am not perfect, I am functional, working, and enjoying life. My first surgeon left me with rib shards that were constantly being dragged through the plexus (2-3 years like this). My second surgeon, a godsend, had to literally dig mynerves out of the scar tissue. Very ouchy, but survivable. During this time, I went to school, and then graduated 1 year after the 4th surgery. I am now working and gling to finish my masters in Dec. Dont' let anyone tell you that redos can't be done.
