When I first got my stim implanted in 2008 I went back to classes at college and had an interesting experience. Several of my professors had me give presentations about the stim and it was scary because I hate public speaking but at the same time I was so excited to have my stim I wanted to tell everyone about it! After my talks were done I was on my way to class when I was feeling pain and I turned up my stim well, I was not used to how it worked yet and walked right into the wall! And of course this was in front of people from my class and I felt really silly. I also have had many questions from friends and family regarding the stim and I don't mind answering them, at my grandma's house a few months ago I almost forgot my remote because my uncle had gotten it confused with the tv remote! He tried to change the channel and realized that it must be mine and ran out to our car. I have also accidentally brought the tv remote to school instead of the remote for my stim but that was usually during stressful times of finals! Hope me sharing that made you all smile and laugh Thanks Rae for starting this thread, its very fun Take care 'sTara
