If it's Carpal Tunnel surgery Log Dog, it's no big deal if they can do it without opening up the palm.. I had both mine done. Average surgery was 15 minutes with no restrictions after a couple of days. If open surgery takes about 6 weeks to rehab. I did lose use of my right pinkie and ring fingers though from not having surgery on the Ulnar nerve.
Yes, let's get on with making now the pity party is over.
