WOYWW #681 - Carpal Tunnel - 9 months on...

So it is now 9 months since my hand operation to release the Carpal Tunnel which was causing numbness and tingling in my right hand.

The tingling and numbness has been cured - highlighted by my left hand's increased occurrences of this symptom.

As for recovery from the operation itself, I'd guess it is 90% sorted as I can do most day to day stuff OK but it is still tender to touch, and still looks like a wonky zip. 

I can't put my weight on it so staplers and punches are out of the question as is squashing the recycling! 

My wrist is still affected and doesn't extend like it used to either. All of which makes me sure that I will NOT be having the same done to my left hand.

Needless to say zilch in the crafting arena but I have revisited a jigsaw from 2 years ago and recorded Hallelujah on my harp - enjoy...

Happy WOYWW Everyone.

    I loved your rendition of Hallelujah when I saw the link on FB BJ. One of our pupils in Y8 plays the harp but you two are the only people I know that do. Hope that last 10% comes back in the right wrist eventually too. Stay safe and Happy WOYWW. Sarah #2

    I am so glad you included the harp rendition here, as when I saw it on FB I was somewhere I couldn't play it! it's beautiful. I am glad the carpel tunnel surgery has been mostly successful, if a long recovery time. Don't blame you for not wanting to have the other one done! Take care.. helen #4

    Well done for the recital, beautifully played! I’m really glad that your carpal tunnel has been successful, albeit with a few caveats.
    Keep on moving!

    Hi BJ, we're back. It's been a lovely day but very hot but dogs were fine as they wore their cooler coats, I wish they made them for humans. I'm glad your hand is getting better. I still have the problem in my right hand but it's okay as long as I don't keep it in one position for too long. I believe it started when we first used computers when I was teaching and we didn't have proper mouse mats and weeks of working on reports put pressure on my wrist for long periods of time and I started to feel the numbness. Wishing you a very happy and creative woyww, Angela x9x
