No one knows for sure how each person heals, but look into the new lazer sugery. No scar, shouldn`t take long. I had both done the old fashioned way. Didn`t hurt and healed fast.Wish I hadn`t waited so long.

I had both hands done and felt the significant difference before the anesthetic fully wore off. I took 4 weeks off from work but the truth? It could've been one week. I used the longer time to heal from the burn-out of my job and to sew. Even the day after, if you prepare (as in do all two-handed tasks) beforehand, you'll be able to sew, just not handsew, at least for me that was the case. And teh relief at no pain? being able to sleep through the night? being able to do what I want? as MasterCard says, Priceless! Go for it. you'll be so happy afterwards.

I am waiting til Tuesday before turkey day so I can get my outside chores finished up, and I have projects cut..but how long til I can use the machine again?
