Hi,
Just wanted to add that this is the "next-in-line" surgery for me, if the PNS does not work. My NS is an expert, even a pioneer, in MCS and DBS. I was happily surprised when he wanted to do the PNS, because usually he just goes straight to MCS. So to me, it is not definitely on the table if this doesn't work.
Best of luck, legallady, I will be having Surgery on the 1st, so we can talk 'incision site pain" for the transmission devices, if nothing else. Hopefully it won't be too much of a bother, though.
