WOO HOO!!!! Today is my six week anniversary--six short(long) weeks ago I was joined together with my SCS implant, for better or for worse, 'til death (or extensive surgery) do us part. The honeymoon was great, and while there have been bumpy periods as we learned to live together, life as a "newlywed" is amazing. Just like my first marriage (to my human husband, still married, not sure if this makes me a bigamist? ), my SCS has changed my life for the better, helping me keep ahold of the happiness I knew I could find (and deserved), making daily life so much easier and supporting me as I go places I couldn't go on my own.

Now I just have to hold out until the 12th, when I get the official sign-off from the doc and (yay!) my AdaptiveStim programming.

It's funny, I married my wonderful husband, light of my life, on Sept. 17, 2005, and in the past 8 years we've spent our anniversary or near-anniversary in the hospital 4 times for me to have surgery or treatments. My doc told us this year that his anniversary present to us this year was to help keep me out of the hospital for our anniversaries to come--looks promising so far!

Thanks so much to you all for your support and encouragement!
