Back in April I had carpal tunnel surgery on my right hand. During this time, my left hand was also going bad, and it’s only gotten progressively worse. I haven’t been able to write, I can’t play music, I can’t work out, and my life has been diminished in ways that has left me depressed and miserable. Even after my surgery tomorrow, there’ll be a several months long healing process, and the nerve healing will likely take years. My right hand is functional, even though I still have tightness in the tendons, but the nerve damage has only partially healed. I shouldn’t have waited this long to get the other hand done, but at least I got the surgery scheduled right away instead of having to wait weeks longer to get it done.
Anyway, wish me luck.
Having surgery again tomorrow…
