And the hits just keep coming...

Today I went to have my EMG done and for the most part it wasn't too bad, until he broke out the cattle prod. It's kind of like that electrical feeling you get when you hit your funny bone, but multiply it by 10 at least. After the cattle prod he brought out a needle to stick directly in my muscle, move around, shock, move some more all the while telling me to relax. Ha!

Anyway, the long and short of it is that I have nerve damage. This meant the EMG took much longer than planned, the doc was late getting out on a Friday, and I didn't get all the stuff done for work that I was suppose to before leaving. As for the nerve damage, it's to my brachioplexis which is basically nerve central for innervation between your spine and upper shoulder, deltoid, arm, etc. The very, very, very, very, very, very, very sad part of all this? He says I can't play hockey until it heals as I could find myself with permanent nerve damage if I were to get hit in the same area again. Right now it's slowly healing. I had just registered for the winter season in NCWHL again too. I guess I'll just have to go root for my buddies. Waaaaaaahhhhhhh!!!
