: : My surgeon is scheduling me for cts release and removal of a cyst on same wrist for a Thursday and wants me to return to work on a Monday. I work in an office and he says I can do it with one hand. I also drive a standard shift vehicle. Has anyone else returned to work so soon. It is a wc claim. All input is
: appreciated. Thanks.

: I'm going around and around on this with my surgeon. I had my surgery on a Saturday (orthoscopic sp), and went back on a Monday. I teach high school computer science, and one handed was pretty, nor was it good for anyone. First, it HURT, and I couldn't take pain pills.

: Second, we're over crowded and being the halls was not a good idea during passing periods.

: Plus it was towards the end of the year and grading, etc couldn't wait. One handed was extremely frustrating.

: I am really glad I could do the surgery out of school for the second one.

: I also can't imagine driving a stick. Automatic was hard enough.
