The wait is over

Yesterday I saw my neurosurgeon. I was told that there are no structural issues in my spine: the nerve exits are clear and there are no bone spurs. So, as it turns out, my current issues are just the evolving complications of syringomyelia. Apparently I can expect peaks and troughs of these symptoms; given that my right hand is currently little more than a club I'm hoping I'm at the depths of a trough at the moment.
Now my main hope is that when I visit the hand and wrist specialist next month he can offer me some sort of help, otherwise I'm reduced to hoping for improvement.

More in early September after I see the next doctor...
