So my advice to you is to be a fanatic about your rehab. Whatever they tell you to do, do twice that much. My husband was not expected to get any mobility back. And today, although still a bit weaker on that side, the only thing he can't really do is play guitar and take change. He doesn't have complete supination to be able to lay his hand flat with palm up. But he has a very physical job and was able to go back to work. They told him it was only because of his determination (ala stubborness).

So I pray your surgeons have great skill and that you have great determination afterward.
the ER doctor said it was the worst he had seen in a long time so im guessing its pretty bad .and the stupid thing about it is i knew not to walk down the drive way because of the ice but i was in a hurry .our drive way is a hill .my babys are sticking to mommy they must know mommy is hurt because not once have they left my side .
