My dad had surgery on both of his hands for carpal tunnel syndrome. He was totally useless for about 1month and a half. My mother had to be his hands from feeding to using the restroom. He also has diabetes. It does take more time to heal with an illness, but takes forever to get used to using your hands again. He also still has a tingleing sensations in parts of his fingers because of it.
