Surgery today, may not make it back for a bit...

I have carpal tunnel surgery on my left wrist today at 10:30. I will freely admit it makes me a bit nervous cutting the ligament that holds my wrist together, but I hear many good results from people who have had it done. I already have some weakness in that wrist, so I guess it won't really be much worse as long as I let it heal properly. Just hope it doesn't cause trouble later this summer or something by doing more than it can handle. I should be able to give it a decent break until mid May for sure, other than hauling my school books around.

Thing is for all the more typing I have done here, it is already starting to burn... some days it is fine, today, it is causing plenty of trouble...

Good luck, Roger
My brother and load of others I know have had it done and they all healed up great. I know they didn't exactly follow Dr orders to take it easy.

Good luck. I know a person that had both his wrist done and helped him a lot.

Thanks for the well wishes everyone, makes me feel a bit better... Local anesthetic is wearing off, time to give in and go to the pain meds, it is making the fingers curl... Have to be functional enough for my first mid term in the morning.

Yeah, I am only teasing. My Dad is a Network Admin for a bank here, went to school when he was in his 40's, but never learned how to type. He is surprisingly quick with it.

Glad it went well...after having my CT procedure my zipper was a bigger issue than typing.

I can hunt and peck a keyboard left footed....Levi zipper to pee was an issue.
My discovery of sweatpants was a bennie of invasive Carp Tun. surgery.

That and calling my left hand Hunnysmilietease
