Kelly,
Sorry for the confusion- I mean it was perfect structurally in the sense that there were no complications as a result of the surgery (that I know of), we relieved the vascular compression and solved those issues (my arm would swell and my hand would turn blue) entirely, and I felt good in terms of nerve symptoms completely (gone) for a short while after. I've noticed some improved from before the surgery in terms of hand strength.
I saw Dr. Donahue at MGH.
