It seems to be quite common. Two of my brothers have had both theirs done with great results. I’m hoping to sleep better of a night and be able to hold scissors and secateurs (both important tools for me) with no pain, tingling or cramping. My left hand has been less functional since a few years ago, a quack (no longer at our local surgery for obvious reasons) was to perform a simple procedure and ended up damaging a nerve in my arm.  Sorry, this isn’t the thread for that story so instead…
Receiving thoughtful messages from beautiful KCA people made me happy today! 
Amazing high success rate in what should be simple surgery with this procedure Chrissy.
Only seen one less than ideal outcome, and that was not due to the surgery, but the post surgery aftercare recovery period that went very wrong. Just something to keep on top of, for a perfect result.
Ask as many questions as you need, and fully understand the post op procedure, and what to look for if it seems not right, and you should be fine. You’ll be back swinging secateurs with more force than you remember, in no time at all!

Def makes you happy, doesn’t it Chris?
Had my follow up appointment with my technician from the 5k service. Some parts identified as “should be replaced soon”, were not at hand, and needed ordering at the service.
A little hiccup in between the service, and the follow up appointment, resulted in the bus dying as I pulled into a fuel station. New fuel and still no go! Got it away from the bowser, and into a parking spot using 1st gear and starter motor to get it over the speed hump. Fiddle in the engine bay to rotate and reconnect the 5 leads on the dizzie, and all was good again.
So newly arrived leads, rotor and dizzie cap fitted, new bushes on the gearshift linkage, and now, the hot start relay fitted to the starter solenoid, and drives smoothly again!
Now can get 2nd gear 100% of the time, instead of just 90% of the time, and all gears are now smooth as new again.
Hopefully back to “bomb proof,” at 475,000 kms.
I love my mechanic! Always able to identify possible upcoming issues… a rare talent these days!
