Thank you for posting your experience. I am still on the fence about CTS. I use a cane in my right hand - the one with carpal tunnel. I have heard from two people that were in the same situation. Both of them said they couldn't use a cane afterwards. Also, the CTS I have was called "severe". I want to make the right decision - there's no going back either way. Thank you for your good wishes.

Would you be able to try to learn to use your cane on the left? How much pressure do you put on your right hand when using the cane? Can you use a walker when you recover?
I am about 2 weeks out from surgery and doing my PT exercises to strengthen my hand and wrist. I could use my hand some with the bandage/stitches and I wore my wrist brace over it to provide extra support (able to type/text some). Do you wear a brace on your right hand during the day or when you sleep at night?
