Dr t was great. Pain has been pretty manageable except 2 times I slept too long and got behind on my meds. Am not to the point where I know if surgery was successful yet. Should get to leave and stay in hotel on Tuesday. Then will have drain removed on Friday

Hopefully improvement will continue.

I also forgot to say that he said my scalenes were hard and tight and my nerves had a lot of scar tissue surrounding them. So surgery was def needed

I had a ton of scar tissue as well (brachial plexus was covered and fused to the 1st rib). It's too bad there is no definitive imaging to show this. I still have hope that 7 Tesla MRI will give doctors greater visibility in the near future.
