hi and welcome, bookworm!
you should head over to the TOS forum (if i weren't such a computer illiterate i would thow up the link for you right here... ![]() ![]() you will meet some great people and be able to access the current medical literature on this still fairly controversial area of medicine. i take it you are in canada? we have several canucks on the forum across different provinces. but as you may have guessed, TOS does not discriminate, so while the board is a little stateside heavy we do have members from all over the world chiming in with their experience and support, from all walks of life. if you fool around with the 'search' function towards the upper righthand portion of your screen, you will be able to figure out how to pull up older threads on any given topic (like getting ready for surgery, what to do to get your house ready for your immediate return, stuff like that...), or you can recall threads by poster name if you'd like, using the 'advanced search' modality. the stickys up top of the TOS forum are rife with information as well. when is your surgery schedded for, bookworm, and who is your surgeon? i take it you have tried a good long course of PT and have not had sustainable results from it; is that right? i'm sorry for the reasons you are here, but very glad you've found us. look forward to getting to know you better. i wish i knew where you were located in canada but like most americans i am afraid i am clueless, so you'll have to educate me... ![]() alison Last edited by Sea Pines 50; 07-03-2007 at 11:50 PM. Reason: could it be... to fix a mistake? ooooooh i'll never tell, sssssshhh |

Hi, Bookworm, welcome to NT! Oops, I already welcomed you in the combined george/bookworm thread, lol. I see you've already been given the link to the TOS forum, so you're all set there. But don't forget, we also have some fun here, too. ![]() So look around and see what else you can find... it's helpful to take one's mind off the problems once in a while.

Hi Bookworm,
Welcome to NT!. I have had the TOS surgery...only a scalenectomy though, no rib removed. What kind are you having? Where are you having it? Oswego? I am guessing maybe Rochester or Syracuse? Check out the TOS forum there are lots of pre and post surgery tips (like be sure to bring lots of pillows for the ride home). And no you dont have to wear the things that dogs wear..unless you want to of course ![]() ![]() Best of luck and let us know how it goes. |

I've been in your spot twice now. Hi i'm new also. This surgery is so different on every person. If you need it go for it and make sure your PT follows up with neuro streaches and deep breathing.
