When the wrists flare up rest and breaking out the braces usually calms things down within a couple of days. Sounds like yours is much more troublesome.<br /><br />I wish a full, speedy, uncomplicated recovery for both you and the oak.garden girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13284047851881823280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3093185160483906357.post-52878606293195306462009-11-27T19:57:36.303-06:002009-11-27T19:57:36.303-06:00Good for you for taking the bull by the horns and ...Good for you for taking the bull by the horns and getting your hand fixed Gail!

Good luck with your surgery--isn't that typical to have to wait hours and hours for a short procedure? And I know for me the caffeine deprivation is the worst part:) I'm not familiar with this syndrome, but I know a few people who've had surgery for carpal tunnel syndrome and were so happy they had it done. Good timing, too--you should be all set to go for gardening in the spring!

I ask all the same questions as your first Doctor and it usually ends up that they or one of their neighbors has applied herbicide on the lawn near the tree. The chemicals don't know the difference between a weed and a prized tree.<br /><br />As to your hand issue, best of luck. At least it is coming at a good time of year for a gardener if there is a lengthy recovery, which I hope there will not be. It reminds me of my Dad who told his new replacement Dr. that it had to be done between deer season and flounder season or he would not get it done .Leshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18281256160705697856noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3093185160483906357.post-5472573018025998562009-11-19T13:33:16.140-06:002009-11-19T13:33:16.140-06:00I'm glad your tree has an optimistic outlook -...I'm glad your tree has an optimistic outlook - what a treat to have so many old trees in your yard.<br />Best wishes for your surgery, Gail.
