Soon you will be there! May all go well for you in the permanent implant. Especially since you learned amputation is not a viable remedy for the pain, you will still now have your limbs which should be responsive to you once the effect of the stim becomes fully useful to you. I can now ambulate, albeit with use of a cane due to my permanent nerve damage.... but, you know what? That is something I could not have had prior to the implant. The pain was just too great.

Praying that angels watch over you in your procedure and that through your implant you are blessed as I have been.

Prayin,
