I don't think I mentioned the surgery here, tbh.
It wasn't a total success, unfortunately. Not yet at least. Nerves take a long time to heal and I'm nowhere near there yet. I have been given lots of exercises, most of which I need to do multiple times a day, as well as various gadgets designed to help, and so we'll see. There has been progress, according to my physiotherapist.
She is a very clever person, btw. Very practical and down to earth, and very inventive.
I also have problems with my back, most likely related to the arthritis. That I might have mentioned here.
I think I've heard of TOS, actually. I hope your friend is helped by the surgery.
