Two years ago, I had an operation to repair the Carpal Tunnel Syndrome in my left hand. At the time, I had it in both hands, but much worse in the left, so I only got the left done. Now I fear it is time to do the right hand.
I'm really anxious about this! Much more so than last time around. My right hand is so instrumental in all the things that are really important to me, that the thought of laying it under a surgeon's scalpel just doesn't appeal to me. I know it will help; it won't be so sore, tingling, numb etc. but... but... I also know I won't be able to use it for 2 weeks, during which time I will be off work and thus ACHING to make stuff and thus frustrated out of my tree!
My appointment with the orthopaedic surgeon is on Monday 4 Feb. Sigh. I also remember it was about 6 months before I could say my hand had fully recovered. I'll have to learn to use a mouse with my left hand and perhaps I should take out a DVD contract... ugh, I don't want this.

Thats exactly what I have been saying over the past year. I don't need this in my life just when everything is taking off! I have been invited to do a solo exhibition twice within the year and twice I've said yes and then had to cancel because of the CTS. Sighhhh!
