Hey folks,
Well I had a complete reassessment of my left arm today by my OT. Even though I wasn't really surprised, I was so excited to here that every measured parameter was "within normal limits" for the first time in over a year! She measured grip strength, pinch strength, abduction/adduction, flexion/extension. I know there's still room for improvement, but actually seeing it in numbers was very encouraging. I feel like I've regained about 80% of my pre-CuTS function in the left.
Chris

Howdy Chris!!!
Most excellent news! After mine was done (elbow and hand) at around the year mark, they checked me and told me between 80 and 90% of normal. It's a good feeling huh? *HUG* Congrats!!
