Jarrett,
At what age was your CTS surgery done?
Did you have a Dx'd case of PN at the time?

I'm trying to take as many factors into consideration as possible
at the age of 64 & PN, for 12 yrs.
I'm a locksmith & both fine motor skills (picking & rebuilding with small parts), as well as heavy duty (drilling 2 1/2 " holes thru 1/4" solid steel comm'l doors) are needed. I could 'vacation' for 2, maybe 3 weeks- but that's about it.
I'd have to be back at, at least, 60-75% after that.
