A hand update

Had a test for carpal tunnel today. Moderate severe is what the Doctor said. I will go in for a surgery consultation tomorrow. I think I may try to get this done right after Demicon to give myself time to recover before Worldcon and fall shows. I could probably put it off till later, next year even, but I have put off getting tested too long. I can cope with it (I have for some time), but I am not sure for how long.

Hope it doesn't cause you too many issues.

I think Jon and I will be making it to Demicon and I'm looking forward to hearing you play as always.

With these sorts of things, sooner is better than later... and if you can plan around it before it forces you to wreck your schedule for it, win.

And *hugs* to you and your fine fine lady. With whom I need to plot. :)

From the perspective of a CTS patient (both hands), get it done soonest. I had the surgery in '95, and have never regretted it. I was one of the youngest CTS patients my surgeon had treated at that point; my CTS was genetic and exacerbated by work. :( once I recovered from surgery, I felt MUCH better!
