Carpal Tunnel Surgery

[Marilyn]

I'll be having carpal tunnel surgery next week. They are doing the right hand on Thursday, June 4th and the left hand on Thursday, June 11th. I should be back at work on June 5th and again on June 12th. Then I have to take off again around the 17th to have the final splint taken off and everything checked out. I'm not supposed to drive with the splints on, or lift anything heavy but other than that, they said i should be able to do office work the next day. I'm having the Brown Procedure, so it's minimally invasive, and supposed to have a very good rating for a successful outcome. Here's a link to their website. http://www.brownhandcenter.com/home/

Realistically since I'm having one hand done at a time, I will probably be driving on the 8th until my next surgery on the 11th. They have to tell you not to drive, but actually, with automatic transmission, there is no reason that I can't.
