Went to Georgia to visit dad. Did NOT have to turn off SCS remotes at all while in flight...in fact had to ramp them up a bit when several of those "fellow passengers" tried to drag luggage in to put into the overhead compartments, rather than checking their bags, and I got knocked quite badly several times as they squeezed by with them.

The only problem I had is that since I asked for wheelchair assistance between terminals, they changed my seat assignments on the plane at the last minute and I ended up sitting in a bulkhead row (which I hate...no room in seat in front of you for purses etc. to go under, the tray table is in the armrest, narrower seats, etc.), and on top of that they separated my husband and I into two different parts of the plane. So I'd suggest if anyone needs wheelchair assistance try to get up to the desk before boarding and let them know if you don't want to be moved. They assume that if you're in a wheelchair you want/need to be as close to the front of the plane as possible but I just tell them that I'm able to walk to the seat on the plane it's just the hustling/rushing about through the terminals that I can't do and would probably mean we'd miss out flight.

It was great seeing my dad and I think the SCS remotes really helped. I did have to take breakthrough meds. the whole vacation, however.

I go in next Monday for my EMG to see if the arm numbness/upper back shoulder pain is coming from pinched nerves in my arms rather than from my cervical SCS being not high enough.

Hope everyone is doing well and sorry haven't been on in a while. Took a lot out of me me preparing for going to see my dad, and now the unpacking, laundry, etc. starts. Makes me wonder if vacation is worth all the hassle sometimes Sure was good to feel somewhat normal for a while, traveling with the " general public" in cattle cars :-)
