Ulnar Nerve Transposition Surgery - Update
I figured I would take a minute and update my status after 3 months. My elbow is still very tender and hurts when touched in certain ways, like if its bumped or I set it down on a table. My arm is still very stiff and the elbow is numb as well, its a odd feeling and the tingling in my pinky and ring finger still persists.
I go back to the doctor next week and we’ll see what he says, my nerve was pretty damaged and when I visited a month ago he said I would most likely still see improvement 2-5 years down the road. All-in-All I am not sure the surgery was really a total success the aching has gone away but the numbness hasn’t and that’s the part I am having trouble getting used too.
I’ll try to keep up on my updates on a more regular basis since people seem to be interested in sharing their experiences on my previous post. 
Ulnar Nerve Transposition Surgery
On 3/17/08 I had surgery to correct a pinched nerve in my elbow. The pinched nerve was causing the pinky and ring fingers to be numb and tingle, also serve arm aching. Hopefully this surgery will correct the issue, however the pain right now is horrible. The nerve was relocated to forearm under the muscle. Here are some pictures of my arm taken 4 days after surgery.

Bruising.

Macbook Pro & Netgear wnr834b - Take2
Things did not improve with the Macbook Pro and the WNR834b when in IEEE 802.11n (draft) mode. I switched the router back to 802.11g and things have been working great. Hopefully a future upgrade by Apple or Netgear will release a firmware upgrade so I can use the 802.11n as a viable main option.
Macbook Pro & Netgear wnr834b
I decided to take advantage of the wireless n adapter in my macbook so I purchased a Netgear WNR834B from a local retail store. The Mabook Pro seems to have issues with the Netgear wireless router it will make a connection (ie show its connected) when coming out of sleep mode but it will not connect to the internet. Everything gets assigned but the route on the OS side.
After I made these two changes on the router things improved.
1. LAN IP Setup - Change “Rip Direction” to “Both”
2. In Wireless Settings change the channel to something other then “auto”. I picked 10.
Now when my macbook comes out of sleep mode the wireless works and I can surf at least 8/10 times.
