Thanks for posting that for me Dawn.
I have my own miracle here. I had my post op visit yesterday. I had an eight day spinal headache, that is just lifting today.
The surgical sites are healing well. Now that the swelling is gone I can see how wasted away my arms and ankles are. Skin and bones. I will need some physical therapy to gain strength and stamina back, but that should be easy without all the skin, muscle and bone pain.

I'm not sure why doctors don't use these more often to stop the suffering. I had to wait 3 years for mine but I'm glad I've done this so far. No side effects from the neuroleptics and pain pills. I'm beginning to feel normal again and it has been a long 5 years since I've felt normal.
It will be interesting to see just how much I'll be able to do.
I'd love to go for a walk but it will be awhile yet before I can do that.

Time is still limited here, so I am signing off now.
I wish all a pain free night, Hope
