    My Journey with Venous Thoracic Outlet Syndrom part 4! This journey has been more challenging than I thought it would be and as I’m writing this update which is way overdue I am getting ready for another surgery.

    On September 1st, I had my post-op appointment with my surgeon. We went over his finding during my venogram. He said that my case is textbook! The blood thinners he has me on are not making that big of a difference so he has suggested we move forward with the surgery to remove my right first rib. During the surgery, they will remove my first right rib, ballon my vein if needed as well as remove the scar tissue around the vein. We have this surgery scheduled for Monday, September 13th!

    Let’s start at the beginning for the last few weeks I had noticed my right arm was swollen and turning blue and purple. There was small bruise on my shoulder but I hadn’t injured it. I also noticed that I had a bruise on my knee which was from a bug bite so I thought that might be the case. I asked my husband as well as my daughter if they could see a difference in my arms. At that time they couldn’t really tell. It was later in the week my husband was watching my latest Workout Video. Check it out here. My husband noticed in that video my…
