On her Nerves

Suzanne had a second nerve conduction velocity test performed yesterday. By sending low voltage (but highly uncomfortable) electrical current through her nerves, the device could read the speed at which the signal traveled. Her doctor tested the radial, ulnar and median nerves. When compared to her first test, where there was high signal loss, the results yesterday showed slightly improved signal transmissions across the dense scar tissue of her right arm. He was cautiously optimistic with the results. This does not imply that the nerve damage has been repaired, or that further function will be gained without invasive operations, but she may be on the right course to increased muscle function in her hand.
