[CW] Good Sending

[Richard Knoppow]

    I will also mention carpal tunnel release surgery. Check if your 
medical insurance covers it. If you have medicare you are covered (but 
you just have a new job so probably don't). I had carpal tunnel in my 
left hand so badly that it woke me up at night. Felt like my whole arm 
was numb. The surgery is simple, done outpatient, heals fast and 
provides relief right away. My biggest problem was typing. My left hand 
was really bad but will have my right hand done too soon.
