Heart SCS verses a pain pump... KS needs help!

I remember Mike had mentioned he has a pain pump..So in my little brain I am just entertaining the thought of removing my SCS and to have a pain pump implanted..Reason being, as many of you know..I am not able to take any pain meds oral..NONE! But by drip I can withstand morphine...not orally.. and my SCS just lives in my left hip and not able to use it....so my next question is.. what kind of a procedure would it take to do this switch?? The 5 day sleep is not possible for me either due to ins. denial due to so callled experimental use of the Ketamine....over and over..so this may be an option for me.. AND set me straight..am I thinking correctly..Talk to me family..

Love, Kathy
