The Ol’ In and Out (S)urge(ry)

Da Goddess @ 06:21

I’m currently on my way to the outpatient surgical center to get my spinal cord stimulator trial!

This is a big deal for me. It’s a step toward possible ACTUAL pain relief.

Unfortunately, we’re due for a major heatwave during the week I’ll have this thing in my body. And I’m not going to be allowed to shower. (I’m totally going to find a way to shower.)

Fingers crossed, eyes dotted, prayers almost non-stop. Hoping I don’t barf before or after the surgery.

Wish me luck!

  2. Thanks, Pam!

    The pain was intense after the procedure, but they were very nice with meds to help. It’s a strange experience thus far and I have until Wednesday to see what the results are. Chuggin’ along until then!

  3. Haven’t been around for a while, happy to see that you are. Hopefully everything works out and you get some permanent relief.

  4. Daaaave! I was thinking of you and your family the other day and I’m so glad you stopped by. Hope you are doing well and feeling loved.

    I had pretty good results with the lower back trial and now must await approval for the neck. Fingers crossed! I’m actually looking forward to it, which is unusual, y’know?
