Amazing! Good luck with your surgery next month...let us know how it goes. My husband is slated to go back in September to discuss something similiar for his deltoid. His nerve tranfer "took" but didn't result in much movement. I'm anxious to hear about as many of there surgeries as possib...

That's wonderful! Thanks so much for sharing your happy update!

<t>A few of us who have had (or with loved ones who have had) the nerve transfer or tricep to deltoid have been sharing notes so I though I would post a little update from my husband's trip to Mayo last week. He is currently 1.5 years post surgery and a little over 2 years post accident. When we wen...

My husband is just going to miss you. He left early this morning for the 17 hour drive out for his appointments tomorrow. Glad you had a good visit!

<r>We are headed back to Mayo at the end of September and I'm just looking to do a little homework. A little background: My husband had a nerve transfer (branch of tricep to deltoid) in March 2008. In September 2008 we we returned to Mayo and the EMG showed the beginning of reinervation. We've seen ...

That's wonderful, wonderful news! Thanks for sharing the great update and wishing you continued recovery!

<t>Looks like a great list to me. This is a little bit different, but I think a "definitions" type page would be great. Something that includes the names of the different surgeries and what they involve, the names of the different nerve branches and what muscles they fire and other "lingo" people wh...

Best of luck to you! And yes, the multiple appointments over 2 days is fairly typical of your first visit. For my husband it was MRI and EMG day one, and neuroligist and "The Team" day two. I really think you'll be glad you went and hope you get good news.
