Thanh you. It was a bit of an emotional day yesterday - I had to go to bed aftercsome meds because of the journey and because I'd got myself so worked up.

Donna, my nurse, was lovely. She really understood what it was all about and likened the process of losing your "old" life as a bereavement, in that thou go through the same stages

I was really glad mike was with me though he admitted nearly fainting when she told him I would be sat up and awake during the trial.

I got to handle the medtronic controller - which is exactly the same size and shape as my tens unit! She showed me the programmer and two different sets of leads. And of course the battery which Mr. Roe likes to put in your front.

I think what I am going to discuss next week is
.... What if they say no and what if it doesn't work. I have to admit not to really thinking about that as why worry if it may not happen but in this instance I think it wise. How were you guys with this
