Scott has been having trouble with several fingers on his left hand being numb. After seeing several doctors and getting nowhere, it was time for surgery. The doctor was up in Jackson and he decided to have it done before the end of the year, you know, for insurance sake. They move the nerve that is usually near the elbow to the front of his arm, under the muscle. Not a very fun surgery. Here is a link to some information about "Cubital Tunnel Syndrome" and the surgical procedure, "Ulnar Nerve Transposition", they did to fix it.
Here is his arm about 10 days after surgery. Notice the yellowing bruise on his entire arm. The first time we took the wrap and brace off, I was a little scared of how it would look. It's not as bad as I expected. He now has the staples out and a new brace. The doctor says he can't start physical therapy for 4 more weeks. Scott is enjoying his time off.
