surgery complete !

Hey all! Surgery was done about 6 hours ago and i actually feel pretty great and energized.

Surgery day wasn’t bad at all i was so anxious i wanted to puke at first but i powered through and glad i did. Surgeon decided on doing a transposition with a nerve wrap and it was successfully done!

Anesthesia wasn’t bad at all i remember laying in the OR and them boom out of literally no where i woke up in the recovery room… weird lol. They gave me a nerve block which actually not going to lie is extremely annoying because i genuinely can’t even wiggle a finger they just feel like dead weight- can’t wait for this to wear off. i think my throat being super sore after that breathing tube is what really feels the worst currently.

Overall i had a great experience and to anyone who’s surgery is coming up it’s ok to be nervous but believe me when i tell you it’ll be ok and it’s a super seamless experience. Now onto the recovery!

Surgery Tomorrow

Hey everyone ! I have my transposition surgery tomorrow morning and i just wanted to thank everyone for their stories their helpful advice and even providing many of the numerous things that helped them post op!

I will come back to this with an update on my experience and how everything went. For now i feel ready. Nervous about the anesthesia but other than that i’m just ready to get this over with and move onto the phase of hopeful recovery and one that’ll get my life feeling somewhat normal again. Not many know what it’s like not being even able to shoot a basketball without losing feeling in the arm into the hand - really sucks especially with some basic tasks.

God bless!
