I too, like Mark, remember the awful pain of fusions the feeling of being hit by a train comes to mind. It was horrendous. I didnt have the paddles only the leads so I cant say what your pain is like, but If its anything like the fusions then I sympathise with you so much.
I hope you are taking some medication for the pain and hopefully that will help you somewhat.
hope you and Jerry have a wonderful Christmas and a very healthy and Happy NEW YEAR too!

Jackie, Thanks for writing me and thinking about me! I hope you also have a great Christmas and happy healthy New Year! Its funny because right before surgery when I was really scared they told me oh its just going to be like when you had a part of your herniated disk removed....no it was much worse! And the staples were awful and I hope I never have to have them again! And I underestimated how big the incision would end up being and yeah the pain is bad and I am still on pain meds. I am also having an awful time trying to sleep at night because I used to sleep with my stim on and of course it is off so it takes me forever to sleep and now the battery area is starting to hurt as well
I really miss having my stim on...but I know it needs to be off right now.
My mom and brother came over with my christmas presents today and spent the day with me and that cheered me up
However, my mom was patting me on the back and I was like Ow, mom lol and she felt bad but it was okay. Jerry sometimes forgets too and will hug me a little too hard or accidentally yank on me and I am like Ow! I am still sad about missing my family for Christmas but we explained to everyone I am just not ready to travel or be in a car yet. And its a long trip and there is snow which makes me nervous anyway (cause of my accident).
Oh yeah, I also got some good news about my lawsuit the other day, we sent my case to the court of appeals because of that one judge's ruling against me (I talked about it before how she said I should of gotten out of MY car even tho I would of been killed by the bus) and they reversed her ruling and so now I still have a case
That was great news because every time I hurt and especially since I am still scared of driving and being in a car I am reminded of that accident and it would be great if something good comes out of all this mess! I just thought I would share that
I am so excited to get my puppy
Mom, is sending me pics on her phone tomorrow when they get her! I need to lay down cause I am starting to ache again
Take care
