I don't have an SCS as the UK don't seem to do them in any children under the age of 16 and even in adults, they only seem to use them as a last resort so can't help you on that unfortunately.
Just wanted to write though and say that it's good to see you around again and that I have been thinking about you both. I hope your husbands operation went well and that he continues to get relief from the SCS.
You're both in my thoughts!
Alison.
