You will definetly have limitations. What type of SCS are you having,meaning are you having a Laminectomy? Even if not ,you need to follow Dr. instructions after surgery or you will cause yourself many complications. The saying is to remember "B L T" No bending,lifting or twisting till scar tissue can form around leads and battery. How old are children? Are there any family or friends that can help you? Just be sure to talk to DR. and follow advice for Post-Op. Hope this helps-Carol
