Thanks everybody, I'm feeling a bit less nervous, though still not
looking forward to it. The doctor has done many many pump implants,
and I feel he is a very good surgeon. He put in a SCS last fall, and
though it didn't work for me (the stimulation was painful to me) it
was put in the right spot and covered the right area. I'm supposed
to be in the hospital for a week or more - 1st for the trial, and then
if they can get a successful mix of meds, they'll put in the permanent
one. I feel weird about having something foreign in my body. I guess
I'll get used to it, if it works. I would love to not nod off in the middle
of a sentence! Oh, I really hope this works.

I know the meds in the pump vary from person to person, but what
do you have?
