finally taking care of the tingling fingers that wake me up a dozen times a night and bother me on the phone and when driving and other times all day.

carpal tunnel part will be a breeze, recovery is easy. But the surgeon is also moving the ulnar nerve so it's behind a muscle to keep it from rubbing a bone in my elbow. That's been a bigger issue and though not a terrible recovery, will keep my arm wrapped at a right angle for 3 to 4 weeks.

anyone been through this and able to offer some tips about getting dressed and stuff?

Thanks

Get a live-in nurse and get a knobber every morning before she dresses you.
At night, after she undresses you, get another one

another nurse?
Why?
The first one sounds just right.

my two cents... **** clothes... pair of boxers, maybe get the crotch leather-reinforced to protect from falling cigar ash...

see if the surgeon will switch your thumb and index finger... I've got a theory...

I think you should hire a “home help” nurse.

Don’t have any experience with that surgery or, obviously, the recovery but wishing you the best of luck tomorrow and post-surgery rehab.

Wear a Mariners jersey. Right after surgery, the team will sign you to a contract. Minimum wage in the majors is over half a mil. Plus, Seattle is pretty nice.

Seriously, good luck. The best medical advice I could ever give anyone is don't get it on the island where I live.

I don't really deal with ortho much, but follow the instructions.

We bring people through the experience thousands of times over. While there are outliers, the standards of treatment are based on what works best for the majority. The patients that think they're the outlier, or "I know my body" and don't adhere to the script, tend to do the worst but sometimes get away with it. Some adhere perfectly and don't do well, but it's much more rare to see that than to see noncompliance be successful.

Good luck Frank.
