That depends: Depending on your personal medical history (for example your 'dead brain cells affecting your left side') and extent of tendon disease requiring the surgery etc, as well as the success of the surgery and your rehab/p.T. Outcome post surgically, will all determine your best chances of a positive outcome. Be sure to discuss with your surgeon who knows you and the case best. Good luck to you.
