Not the religious post you're expecting here. I'm typing left handed so forgive the typo's and short post.
C.T.R- Carpel Tunnel Release and Cubital Tunnel Release surgery is what I had done yesterday.
It's now 5:33 am and I can't sleep. So I sit here and type one handed and think of a million questions that somehow didn't cross my mind when the doctor repeatedly asked me yesterday if I had any questions. My best thinking is done at night and here are my questions:
1. How soon can I pick up and carry my babies?
2. Did you cut the Palmar Carpel Ligament or just the Transverse Carpel Ligament?
3. Does the ligament eventually heal itself in an elongated way to create a new tunnel?
4. Is this surgery going to affect my wrist strength and stability in the future, especially if I decide to play competitive tennis again? (A question I totally should have asked Pre-Op... duh)
5. When do I start scar massage and my post op Occupational Therapy rehab that I plan to perform myself?
6. When can I start typing with two hands cuz this takes forever and make me feel like I have carpel tunnel syndrome in my left hand from all this left handed typing.?
p.s... there were some wicked awesome graphic pictures of carpel tunnel surgery online, but i decided to spare you and post an anatomical illustration. You're welcome ;)

I hope it does the trick and that soon you can hold your babies and someday kick ass with a tennis ball ;)
I din't know how you take pics of yourself without ending up looking like an idiot- I have given up trying.
