[Rhodes22-list] To Phillip Esteban in regards to the elbow

[Philip Esteban]

JW,
   Yes, that is exactly what I had.  My elbow is numb and sore but I am
regaining feeling and strength in my fingers.  This problem crept up on me.
I had no idea until the hospital did the EMG and found out where the nerve
deficit was.  I thought it was in my neck.  I don't drop stuff with my left
hand anymore either.

Philip

Yea I'm having an ulnar nerve translocation a week from Friday (June 3rd).
Is that what you had? If so that will make a little club within the club on
this list, at least three of us....

I knew it was time to have that done when it started affecting my sailing,
fishing, surfing, riding and the ability to be able to hoist the
appropriate beverage to the mouth....things of a more important nature than
work.
Cheers
