I had an appointment with the hand doctor at 10, so I got up to do part of my job. I did the bus run and I will do the same this afternoon. Caprice will cover my day. The hand doctor would like to do surgery. It would actually be two surgeries, one for carpal tunnel and one for the compression in my elbow for the ulnar compression.. I do not want this. I think I need to wait and see how I am doing this summer. I would rather change how I work than have surgery on the nerves in my wrist and my elbow. While in Wichita we went to Aldi, then came home for lunch. Hubby is napping. I will go in for the bus around 2 p.m. Hubby will go do errands in town at that time. Totally odd day.

I'm always a bit worried about surgery. They don't always work out for the best.

I only know one or two people who have felt like having these surgeries was a good thing. Most people are disappointed.

I hope and pray that you will not need surgery at all.

I think changing how I work will help a lot.

I don't blame you, I hate getting surgeries if I don't need them. Hopefully your hand and elbow will get to feeling better.

Just a week later and my hands felt good after a weekend off.

If you can avoid surgery, that would be better.

They almost always feel better after a weekend off work.

Do you have problems with hand when you use computer mouse?

Not often. It is things I do like lifting and turning knobs on things. My hands and arms go numb or hurt in my sleep.

@GardenGerty Nice. If you stuck in problems, try vertical mouse.
