Carpal tunnel syndrome can be a debilitating condition, affecting several facets of a patient’s daily life.
This condition is named after the area of the body that is affected: the wrist. The small rock bones of the wrist, called the carpal bones, make up the floor of the tunnel. A ligament, called the “transverse ligament,” makes up the roof of the tunnel. The tendons that flex the fingers, wrist and median nerve run through the tunnel.

Talking with Della Salter is like getting a card from an old friend, or eating an ice cream sundae. It just makes you feel good!
If there is a word to describe this Mennonite Memorial Home villa resident, it’s “positive.”
“I’m positive because I’ve had a very positive life,” she emphasized. Salter has lived in her two-bedroom villa on Pinebrook Drive, Bluffton, for more than 30 years. She was the second person to move in after her villa was built.
