I would just suggest that you look at other ways before you out your poor mom under surgery. The recovery can be very lond and plus...there are lots of reasons :) Here's my point...I used an exercise glove called flextend and in the testimonial section there are quite a few testimonials from VERY elderly folks that were helped 100%. Please at least look it over if nothing else. You can find information at www.flextend.com Good Luck to you and your Mom!!! Sorry I was so quick and blunt (is that how you spell that word?) Mandi : My mother is 87 and has developed cts because of being in a wheel chair the last 5 months (continuously setting & unsetting brakes and turning the wheels). She virtually has no feeling in her fingers and is not able to do most common tasks requiring use of the fingers. My questions are: 1. how long is the recuperation after surgery? - are you able to use your hands at all? 2.Do they usually do one hand at a time? 3. What kind of anesthesia is used? (a general would be a problem for my mom)4. Is there anyone out there who has had this surgery in their 80's? : Thanks for your response, clk
