Seen my surgeon yesterday. The left (two surgeries) side has good blood flow, but still some nerve issues. The right side has better blood flow, but certain movements still compress the flow. Some nerve issues as well. Anyway, I have had slow but continued improvements. I will continue with my PT and see how it goes, prior to having any further surgery. I will see doctor again in a few months to check progress. I have been able to do more around the house and I am learning to make the necessary modifications I need to ease any symptoms. Life has got much better since this TOS journey began 2 years ago. There is hope. I still can not do all the things that I use to do, but I am grateful for what I have now. I guess the silver lining to my journey is that I have spent the last two years building a better relationship with my teenage children, which I truly cherish. Being a police officer prior to TOS, took a lot of my family time away, so there are positives that to getting this awful syndrome.
