Last Wednesday I went to see Dr. Landstrom. He is a hand surgeon (one of the best in the USA). He had the results of a series of nerve conduction tests. He tells me I have severe carpal tunnel in both wrists and possible nerve damage. He is scheduling me for surgery at the soonest possible date.

The good news is that he will do arthroscopic surgery that will not require a lot of cutting and sewing.

Bu he does not know if I will be able to play the guitar when he's done. If the nerves in my wrists have been compressed for less than six months then they might regenerate. If longer, they won't. And the lack of control in my fingers might be caused by something else farther up the nerve system, possibly in the neck or inside the skull.

Start saving your money. I might have to sell my guitars... (Attempt at black humor)
