Title: Carpal Tunnel surgery tomorrow
Post by: CoryB on February 28, 2022, 01:33:09 PM
And I’m scared.  It’s arthroscopic so not as invasive but I still have concerns.

My right hand gets done tomorrow and then I’ll return for my left hand one everything heals up from the first surgery.

I drove a computer for over 25 years as a job and would mouse with either hand, so that seems to be what got me.

Good wishes and energy would be greatly appreciated.

We'll keep you in our prayers for successful surgeries that will sustain a good quality of life with guitars and all else.

God bless!

OK to be scared. That would be normal.

But try to think positive thoughts about how much better things will be.

Be well,

Don

Thanks - I appreciate the good vibes and good wishes. It went well as far as I can tell.

Obviously my wrist hurts right now, but my fingers aren't tingling for the first time in many years. Now I wait a few weeks to make sure everything is good and then I go for the other wrist.

Cory,

It's trite, but heartfelt.

Get well soon.

Thanks for checking on me. The surgery went well. My hand feels better than it has in YEARS! I go next week to get the other wrist done and I’m much more confident about it this time.
