Hi Jami-
Yep, I put together a list of questions and took them to the doc, reading them off, one by one, as we worked through the determination whether to proceed with SCS, because, frankly, I feared risks and such. Maybe we ought to start a sticky thread at top of the list, you know. That way folks could post the questions they asked and future readers could take a look, putting together questions for their docs as they read through the stickies.
Still not driving. Wasn't allowed during Trial, told not to until a few weeks out from permanent, and since I am still weaning off of the morphine, frankly, I have not wanted to drive as a prescribed user of morphine. You know, reading the cautions on the bottle, and taking that to heart. I just wanted to avoid the risk of another wreck because my reaction times are slowed, and potentially hurting others or myself. Further, can you imagine the impace to a case if a prescribed user was on the witness stand in a trial wher the question is posed "Mr. Soandso, would you please list for us the medications you had taken on the date of the traffic accident in question?" I mean, gee, to answer "Well, I, uh, was taking morphine sulfate.....among others." The counsel for the plaintiff would have a heyday. Thus, some of this refraining from driving is following prescription bottle restrictions.
So, maybe we should start a sticky thread for those questions one has posed in their own case so others might learn. I agree with you.
