Ok got some news for you.

Tom going under today. Stories about career ending are blown out of proportion.

Yes, there is a chance, like with any op, however, the operation will more then likely see him back.

This from a very good source

That's good. Fingers crossed he can be back early in 2025.

If there was a chance it could get worse, I doubt they'd have gone ahead with it.

There is always a chance with any operation. Guy who worked at my last place never woke up after having his teeth out.
He had heart attack or aneurysm while under? There was a friendly who used to sit at the desk behind me. Maybe late 30s or early 40s. Seemed in good health. Not obese or anything like that. One day he just didn't come into work. Turned out the evening or night before while taking or just after taking a bath, died suddenly from an undiagnosed aneurysm.

For sure there is a chance something unforeseen can happen. He might walk out of the hospital and get hit by an out of control bus. But I don't think there is any possibility the operation will make his nerve damage worse.

If it works at all, it'll take a long time. 6months to a year according to the club. But it won't get any worse as a result of the operation.

I use to work in that field. Your story is generally what happens with Aneurysm’s.

Have one undiagnosed is very common.
