well, surgery went good. he removed the stub of the rib, which he stated it started to grow already. he spent a lot of time freeing up nerves as well. keeping this short because i am fuzzy from the meds. i do notice no pain in wrist and elbow although some tingling which i know is from inflammation from the surgery. i will keep updating when i can. they talked about another day in hospital, but i choose to come home.
