Found out today the nerve was damaged during the surgery and there's no fix. Moms going to lawyer up and live with it.

I believe he saw how bad it was, and told them to get me right in. Reading through his reviews, I think he's the man for the job.

Imagine from the shoulder to the elbow stuck to the side of your body w/o movement. Well, that's the nerve isn't functioning and has been that way from the day of the surgery....4 or 5 months ago. Everything else works.

Absolutely no pain, just a big inconvenience, hope yours goes better.
Me too! I feel pretty good about this guy. I think all he does is shoulders and elbows.

Back to this... I replaced all of the AC on my Wife's Escape today. It was making sooooo much noise. Worse than it ever has before. I've got some crap to get done before I get laid up for a few weeks.

Oh... I found the problem. The clutch dampening material is all torn up!!

I forgot about this promotion that Maverik did with Chuck Norris a couple years back... I didn't remember Dave Sparks being involved though.

Off to my daughter's friends house to do some wiring. This is the last non-family project for a while, lol.

I'm in the middle of pulling everything possible off of the walls, moving some wiring as mentioned before, and will be moving furniture away from the walls . I'm having almost the entire house interior painted at the end of April . Getting started now, though, so I'm not rushing at the end. I'm also donating or selling off a lot of the old decor, It's time to clear out the "old" once and for all. 👍
