Yep, I had a bi-lateral nerve release last year that didn't seem to fix all the problems with my hand's. So after a few test a alot of bull I found out that I have Cubital Tunnel Syndrome. So here in the next couple of weeks I'm looking at another surgery to fix that. The Doc say's 3 months before I can return back to full duty on my full time job. I'm not sure about the guitars, since workers comp is paying for it I figured I better not ask

I had my carpal tunnel fixed surgicaly about 15 years ago and it's been good since with no problem. Before I did that I couldn't play guitar more than 30 seconds or so before my hand would go numb so it was well worth it for me.
Best wishes for your surgury.

Dave I'm kind of an oddball when it comes to lutherie, I don't actually play guitar, as a matter of fact I do good to play the radio sometimes. But hopefully I'll be back building before long.

Mike, The prayers are much appreciated

John, I think I'm an oddball when it comes to this also I had the CTS surgery over a year ago on both hands & it still doesn't seem to be doing much better. This time it's the ulnar nerve, it's compressed at the elbow & it's affecting my grip strength plus some other goofy stuff. It's all conducive to my line of work, I only have 3 years left till I retire. So I only have to hold out just a little bit longer.

Thanks for encouragement guys.
