Smile My Third TOS surgery
Hello All!!!

I thought I would update u all on my situation. I just had my third and hopefully last surgery for TOS. They remove my scalene and first rib on my left side. If u all recall, previous two surgeries on right. This third surgery was painful, nauseating, and long. Surgery was this past Monday. Can't type long, so will make this quick.

I'm home now, and this recover is not easy. Can't sleep, painful, and pain medicine has made me sick. As some of u know, I've been dealing with TOS for 20yrs, and let me say all three surgeries have not been easy. I'm feeling better, but I take this with a grain of salt. Felt better after the previous two, but it didn't help. But my faith hasn't wavered, and Zi still believe with his stripes I am healed.

I will keep u all posted in the coming weeks. Keep fighting, praying, and enjoy each day, because it could be worse.

May GOD bless and heal each of u.

Alexis, thanks for the encouraging words. Well he stated if everything goes as planned with my left arm, I should regain everything with my right. I still do not have strength in my arms or hands. Both sides. He informed me not to be concern with my strength right now, they will work on that in about 3 months. If the right Side doesn't improve with this surgery on my left, he informed me they will need to do another surgery on my right side. But I'm not going through anymore surgeries. They are too painful, with all kinds of other issues. I will keep u all updated.
