Name: Robert City: Youngsville State: NC County: Franklin Join Date: Oct 2007 Avg Visit Freq/Week = 6.03 over 180 days | 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

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

Honestly Honey, that will cost around $100 $150 $200, and I need a few more tools.

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.
