The arm is better. Still no feeling in about half the arm below the elbow. Done with therapy and while it's a bit achy, it works. Strength is coming back. Installing this engine/trans has been a challenge....probably more than I should have done but I might actually get to start the engine this evening.

My doc glued my incision shut but they still managed to pull the ends of some internal stitching out that had worked their way outside while it healed. At random times the elbow will ache, the upper arm will ache and from time to time I find myself straightening it out all the way....simply because it feels good to do that. Most times I don't even realize I'm doing it. I have noticed that I'll start to do something that requires force that I might normally use my left arm (the "bad" one) and I'll have to figure out how to swap sides and do it with my right.
Better every day though. Good your doing better too. DON'T over do it!

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
