I had open surgery, and recovery time was a bit slower than I hoped. It took nearly 3 weeks before I could hold a pen properly, so my fine skills/dexterity took a few weeks, so you would possibly need longer than 2 weeks recovery time. I was lucky in that I had the time to recover, and no work commitments to worry about. Of course, it will be different for everyone, and depending on how bad the nerve damage was before surgery...for recovery time.

I need the fine skills of a watchmaker, and the strength of a carpenter in my work as a full service locksmith.
I am self employed and run a retail shop as well as on-site repair service, emergency lock-out service, and installations.
I cannot afford more than 2 weeks (vacation time) being closed in my shop & being away from the business.
