I had it done on both wrists several years ago - 2 weeks apart. All that practice doing things one handed with a baby on my hip, way back when, came in handy. And I agree with OHSue, it was the best decision I made. Recovery was quick and I really had NO pain afterward. the trick is to do everything the doctor tells you to do - they want you to get it moving again right away and give you exercises to do, and be sure to massage the site a lot to make the lump go down.

Oh, I feel your pain!! I broke my right (dominant) arm/wrist and had to have surgery to put it back together, and now have a permanent piece of metal in it..... You learn to do a lot of things left handed! Personal hygiene is one of the toughest. You can go to the salon for a shampoo, but everyday bathroom things can be a challenge. Take care, and God bless.
PS: SherriB, How in the world did you manage with both hands out of commission? Poor baby!!

I had bone spurs in my thumb removed at the same time I had carpel tunnel repaired, so I was limited in that I could only use my fingers...my thumb was in a cast for 6 weeks. Even so, I could still manage to sew some. Try to have a few things cut out before your surgery. Using the iron may be a bit awkward at first, but you should be able to get some sewing done while you heal. Good luck!!!
