Wow Jenna! I think this should be up in the 'stickies'!
This really IS breaking new ground! (at least here in our sweet little forum)

How VERY intriguing! Especially that YOU are the first in your country to become a recipient of this!

Tara asked some very good questions, some of which I was interested in knowing about......especially the leads. Are yours dual leads with 8 electrodes on each lead, as is the 'standard'..?

Where is your battery pocket site?
Did they (I'm assuming) do the Laminectomy to place your leads and if so are they called 'paddles' ?
Since you were in the hospital 12 days, I'm assuming you had the more involved surgery technique.
Were you 'awake' during the placement of the leads?
What are your main post-op restrictions?
Do the Reps indicate if lead migration is a risk factor?

Ok, , I guess I've bombarded you plenty!

Heck, the charging every day isn't something I would consider to be much of an 'inconvenience'....I mean, in the pain condition I was in, I'd spend THAT amount of time each day curled up in bed in the fetal position wishing I were.....emmm.....NOT hurting.

THANK YOU so much for this wonderful information!
And congrats on your successful surgery!

God Bless you and your precious little family!
