"And they lived happily ever after". Fairy tale ending. Are you living "happily ever after" so far? Because?

Both sides Ele? How will you be able to do things like button a shirt or brushing your teeth or typing? Condolences m'dear. Any kind of surgery is at the very least inconvenient and often  painful. Both sides? Thank you for your reply! :)

It will make things a bit painful for a while. My first wrist surgery I had to buy slip-on shoes and Dickies pants...they had hooks.

Is it Carpal Tunnel Syndrome that folks who operate cash registers get Ele or something else? I get arthritis attacks from time to time in my right hand that affects my wrist but it is always temporary. It always goes away. Since you've already experienced how it hampers you you're better prepared for it. Good luck m'dear.  I shall send good thoughts your way. Do you have any  idea when it will be scheduled? Is it an in-patient surgery where you can go home the same day? I know. So many questions. Well by now you know that is my MO. Don't mean to pry so just ignore whatever questions you don't want to answer! Okey dokey?

Yes, it is CTS...but I already had the surgery on my other wrist. It is outpatient and quite annoying for a week.

I'm glad it's outpatient. At least you don't have to sleep in a strange bed with strangers coming in and out of your room at all hours of the night waking you up for any reason. I guess the first few days of any surgery is he**. After it is all healed would wearing a wrist brace from time to time prevent its recurrence or does the surgery insure that?
