I shoulda come to this thread FIRST!! Great news Sarah. My PJ is Boston Scientific with paddles and I have been most impressed with my situation. As you know from my posts, I have even left pain management meds behind. I look forward to the discussion with my physiatrist next week about the long term. I feel excitement. Hope. Joy.

Lay your little fingers side by side and ponder them, thinking in terms that paddles are a little less than that width. Surgery is never a pain free prospect, but with this one, I was glad to have it, and more so that it was for real once they turned PJ on for me..... actually, I was the one doing the programming under the watchful gaze of my rep, Mike..... whatta guy. Since my body was the recipient of the signals, it seemed only logical for me to take the mouse and "make it so." I set my own programs. Glad for them since, and they have not let me down yet. If I need a tweak, it would be simple to get Mike on the phone, since he and I have spoken since.

I pray much for you, my friend, and hope all will be well with you,
