: Hi y'all,

: I've been reading this board for a few months now and this is the first time I've posted. I must say this has been the best source of REAL information I've gotten on CTS!!

: My carpal tunnel surgery is scheduled for Friday, November 14th. I'm also having trigger thumb surgery the same day because my thumb won't bend at the knuclke and hasn't for 3 months now.

: How long realistically should I expect to be out of work? My boss, of course, is flipping out at the thought of me being out even a day because this is coming at a really bad time. BTW, I'm the Accounting Manager of a manufacturing company so I'd say 7 out of 8 hours of working time each day, I'm on a computer.

: The hand surgeon's office says 4 to 6 weeks, but I'd like to think realistically, I'll be back sooner! Just trying to plan out my life........

Hi Brenda
From personal experience, I'm sorry but I don't know the answers to your questions as I was a full-time student when I had my cts surgery. I'm sure others will help you though.

Just wanted to say Hi & best wishes for your surgery.
