While I look forward to seeing you again, please be prepared for my
questions regarding the surgery that your wife went under. I need both
wrists done and am putting it off due to some of the horror stories I
have heard..... :-(

Don't know how bad off you are and I'm no medical doc but it might be
controllable/reversible.

I was in pretty bad pain while finishing my phd, using pads, wrist
splints, anything I could to try to help. Nothing did...until I did
the following:

1. Change the way I typed. Holding wrists up in the air and having
hands level with my arms was VERY important. Your CT might be from
some other activities, but I think alot of the problems are from bad
"posture" of the wrists in whatever we are doing.

2. Changed the way I slept. No more curling the hands under a pillow.
Sleep with flat hands straight wrists and straight fingers.

3. Iced my wrists nightly for about two months. Serious ice. Fill
some styrofoam cups about 2/3, place in freezer, use one a night.
Peel back styrofoam and apply to wrists, past the point of pain.

I've been "clean" nigh on eight years now. I realize some people
have real problems that can only be corrected through surgery, but
I can vouch that you can be in serious pain and seemingly no hope,
and recover on your own.

still don't know if Linda is comming- she recently had carpal tunnel

thought that
labor day weekend would likely be her first weekend back to work.
I'll have
to head back Monday the 6th.

Meg's surgeon says he's done over 2000 with no problems. Meg had the
stitches out yesterday, and is mostly free of pain already. I don't
know how long she's supposed to wait before full activity, but I think
it's just 2 weeks after the surgery. From all I've heard, you should
do it. The other methods work somewhat, some of the time, but the
surgery is much more reliable.

no strength in her thumb- so I've been kind of helping out, dishes,

John, all that yard work now should buy you the time you need at
Sherburne lake!
