And I was right!! So far I’m 2nd day post op, and though it’s a bit sore, I’m ok. Taking over the counter pain meds, and it’s mostly controlled. Been wanting to get my carpal tunnel’s released for almost 20 years. Got denied when I was younger and living in Canada. And then life just got in the way after that.
Now living in the US, I had this done, and I’m so happy. Looking forward to sleeping through the night without waking up in pain, being able to drive and not have my hands go numb, ditto for using a computer or riding a bike.
Edit: Also, please excuse the shadowing in the pic. Took this at home alone and needed to balance my iPhone with a banana on the edge of a fruit rack to take the pic 😂
Edit 2: I should’ve mentioned this earlier, I’m a surgical (circulating) nurse, and see these done all the time. I decided to get both done at the same time as it would work out better for me this way. And since the recovery has been good, I’m glad I was right, cause it would’ve sucked if I had a bad recovery. I don’t recommend this for everyone.
Sorry I just remember this old internet thing where people kept asking how this one guy took photos of something when both of his hands were occupied and each resulting photo kept raising questions. I wish I could find it now and if it was resolved

So... someone took that picture for you?

Hopefully you have someone around the house to take care of stuff. Like your mom or something, I don't know.
