Well done!
Thanks. From the king of clean installs like yourself I think it turned out good.
I had both mine done about 3 years ago. It was a Blessing. Surgery was over in about 20 minutes and it felt like someone turned the volume up on my fingers when they cut the ligament in my right hand. It was instant. Left one was a bit worse, but there was a lot more scar tissue in that one for some reason (I'm right handed). The poor intern cutting it might have been better off with a sawzall or at least a wiz wheel. Felt like she was hacking on over cooked steak. Feeling didn't return as quickly in that one, but it did come back as the drugs wore off.
Did you do the full opening incision, or did they hook it with the cutter and pull?
Last thing I remembered was moving over to the surgical table and holding the mask. Then waking up in recovery. I think he made an incision in my palm and wrist and ran a camera to where he needed and cut. Really should've educated myself a little more but so far it's gone good. Can't stand having my hand wrapped for week and not being able to take it off though. My right hand was worse than my left but I'm thinking it won't get better on its own so might as well get it fixed too while we are at it
