More surgery for me...

Back under the knife I go!!

Back in 2003, I had an ulnar nerver transposition to relieve ulnar nerve entrapment on my left elbow. The procedure was necessary to stop the damage to my nerves from getting worse and keep them from dying. At the time, they noticed a little bit of the problem in the right arm, but not bad enough to warrant surgery. Well, it's bad enough now. My surgeon called today to let me know I failed a nerve conduction study, and I now need the procedure.

When all is done, I will have a scar on my right arm to match this one on my left arm...


Oh yeah, GO PENS!!! I swear that was the first picture I took of the scar, I swear.

-Mike

At least now your elbows will match, Mike. Kinda like your shoes always match your nails polish....



Good luck, man.
