299557Hope you are well on the way to normality by now. I had both of mine done 20 years ago and the relief was amazing. I was sad enough to watch the operations as well! Both of my sisters have had the same and one of them had both wrists done at the same time!
140716Just think how much better you will feel once it heals so just relax, take it easy and enjoy having a dear sweet hubby. And their is no way I would have both hands done at the same time........how would I be able to chat and read answers and questions from Cuties?

18960I will be praying for you to heal quickly and painlessly! I am sorry you will be missing your sewing for a while, but now you can use the time to plan your next creative projects, or as some might say, "daydream!" Daydream away with permission from your doctor!! Hugs and God Bless, ro
19452Hopefully this will make the use of you hand much better. Be sure to follow the doctor's directions

Yes I am right handed, but I takae twice as long to do things without both hands
4131You will feel so much better...I had both wrist done and I am like a new person. No more pain and numbness. I did not have a lot of pain healing either. You get back to normal very quickly so don't worry. After the stitches are out in a week it is a breeze. Suzanne

Btw Dr Oz had some excercise for carpal tunnel but I am unable to remember how. Seen on TV.
Hugs Bev
7875I guess it sounds like it would be a good time to catch up on tv, movies, and reading. Do as the Dr. says and hopefully in two weeks you will be back to 100% or at least very close to it. Best wishes for your speedy recovery. Hugs for you. Mary

Thank you so much Shirlene, it is so good to hear from you. My dear hubby is keeping me on the straight and narrow path to recuperation. I am all ready bored not being able to sew
211078Worked with a lady that wouldn't get her surgery done if they didn't do both hands at the same time. Her DH was also an angel. Hope your recovery goes fast for you.

Never have 2 hands done at the same time-for one thing you can't wipe your bottom-and try putting on a bra!!! Always have one hand done at a time. I've had both mine done over a period of years. Love Chris

She admitted she was chicken and her DH did all that for her. Can't imagine being that afraid but her doctor agreed to it.

72397So good that you have "live-in" help! This too will pass and you can be back about your busy self, soon. ;)
158553It is great that your DH is helping you. Mine is very kind that way. I've had both hands done and very glad I did. Hope you will heal up real fast. I was fising on the Great Lakes the next day with my pain pills. Hubby held the pole and I reeled the fish in. He is the best, and I thank God for him.
Will be praying for you. Hugs, Judy
