Carpal Tunnel Release - Round #1

On Friday, I had the fastest surgical procedure known to man - laproscopic carpal tunnel release. Mom still can't believe how fast it went. It wasn't pleasant and I honestly don't know if I am going to have my left hand done or not. I have about a week to decide since it is scheduled for Feb. 20th.

Here I am recovering on Saturday, with help from Abby:


Under that band-aid is my incision - only about 1/4" in length and with only 2 stitches.


My hand and wrist are still swollen, but that should go away in a few days. I have to keep the incision sealed for the first 3 days and then I can get it wet and keep a band aid on it.
