just a little update :
The Carpal Tunnel release surgery went well Monday . I was too loopy on Monday to really feel it but yesterday the pain nearly knocked me on my butt. Fortunately I had meds that accomplished the same thing

Today the pain is significantly reduced and , though still swollen , I can almost make a fist without screaming . I worked all day today and will most definitely be in the shop for the long weekend .....adequately protected against irritating rogue sawdust of course

The best news ........my hand does not fall asleep anymore !!!!

Thanx again everyone for your care and concern

Robert, I hope you do well with your surgery, the pain will soon subside and you will be making sawdust again soon. I am going to have major sinus surgery sometime in April so wish me luck. They are going to have to bring in special equipment "Stealth Technology" because they are going to be dangerously close to what little brain I have left. I will be out of commission for a couple of weeks, (no sawdust) ARGHHH. Again good luck with your recovery.

Tracy

That's great news Robert. I am very glad to hear it I hate to see a member down, it's a good thing you survived that Myocardial Infarction a while back

Thanks a lot for the post, and good luck with your recovery. I am considering that surgery and haven't decided yet so any information about it or the recovery are appreciated.

Rock on, bro. Glad it went well. When it heals up real good like, you can straighten some boards on that new jointer.

That is great news, Robert. I'm happy to hear your recovery is going well.
Don't push it too much until you're back "up-to-snuff".

Take care of yourself,

Robert,

I'm glad your surgery went well. Can't wait to see your next piece of work! BTW, I'm not too familiar with carpul tunnel. I've heard that you can get it by clicking a mouse too many times. If that is true, then I'll be in your position in the future. I'll just blame it on this website I guess. I'm glad you are making a speedy recovery and wish you the best!

Trent

Robert -thanks for the update - you're correct - we do care! Getting the swelling down will also help the pain.

Tracy - one of the things they don't tend to mention about sinus surgery is that anything that increases you pulse will hurt - for at least a few weeks. Good luck with that surgery.
