I just asked my head butcher... he said that as long as you have a sharp knife it takes no hand strength at all.

A super sharp little knife, like a skinning knife, works well. Just slide it between the skin and the body as you peal the skin back.

I used to have really strong hands until I had carpal tunnel surgery on both wrists. My hands do a ton of work.

Well Cap your hands seem to do wonders making all your creations.

My brother had surgery for carpal tunnel - left his wrist scarred but no better at all. So the surgeon said "Okay we can do the other wrist." Heck NO, my brother was out of there fast.

My mother had the surgery done for carpal tunnel. It helped, but that wasn't her only problem with her wrists, and hands, but the surgery did keep her from being able to use her hands. She slept with braces on her wrists, and hands at night.

Did it eventually help her? I had mine done one at a time. Most folks I have talked to benefitted from the surgery.

Had wrist surgery after a patient tweeked a wrist that had a ganglion cyst on it. The cyst became inflamed. Lots of pain and stiffness. My doc at the time opened it with a big hypodermic needle and it was really weird. The fluid that came out of it was clear and looked like mucilage. Or dried rubber cement. She was really impressed and admitted that she had tried that before on another patient but it had never worked like it did on me. When the pain continued, I went to a brace and finally surgery as it was painful to push my med cart around the wing.

The surgery went well. Doc told me that there was a lot of scar tissue around my tendons that he stripped away. I told him it was probably from my RF as my wrists got really inflamed and he agreed.

No problems since then, at least not in my right wrist.

More storms moving in this morning. Just what we need.....not.....

Cap, yes she benefited from the surgery.

Dh came home this morning after working a 12 hours shift all night. He brought home a McDonald's big breakfast, which I split with the grandbaby. The grandbaby adores her grandpa, and it's mutual. He was dog tired, and ready to go to bed, when she said "tractor grandpa, tractor". He took her out, and they mowed the front yard, so she could get a tractor ride. That's love.
