Default Post-op update (ulnar nerve repositioning)

Hi all,

Surgery went well yesterday, the neuro said the nerve was more crushed then he expected, but was able to release the pinch and reposition the nerve to the inside of my elbow. He is hopeful it will help with pain and numbness after it heals.

Today has been painful and rough, first few days post op is always horrible, but I'm pushing through it.

Hope I will feel some relief in my hand in the near future.

The intubation went good, the anesthesiologist used an umbrella type of tube that didn't require going past my fusion, and I WAS put under before the procedure began, which was good

Cathie
