Hi everyone, I am back to give you an update. I went to my internist today who actually was not that much help because he said there was not much he could do he did however, finally give me something for pain! I was so happy and its short term but hey its something and I will be able to function and be normal somewhat I also talked to my stim rep and he said that the best thing to do is to get my stim out and then we can find a new doctor to put one in (hopefully the paddles this time). So as much as I am dreading to see her I have an appt with her next tues to talk to her about taking it out. I am nervous to go through it because without it at all I will be in the wheel chair for the time being instead of walker/wheel chair but it is not doing me much good right now anyway so this is probably the best option! I was so thankful to be out of a little pain because I was able to do dishes and my homework and even made my husband some cookies! I also was able to see my therapist again and it helped tremendously and made me feel less stressed. I have to make this short because I have a lot to catch up on but I wanted to let you all know how things went. I really hope that she takes it out sooner than later! Take care 'sTara
