Thank you everyone for the welcome! It's really nice to have this forum full of such helpful people and information regarding an SCS.

Rae, that's so funny how much we have in common! And thank you very much for all of the advice, I will be sure to use it!



I have started practicing not bending or twisting my back for short periods of time for now, just to have an idea of what I will need to accommodate when the SCS is in. It definitely is tricky sometimes! I like to think I've gotten pretty strong in my squatting exercises but I will have to do a lot of extra work to make sure my legs can handle all the squatting I'll have to do. And of course I know there'll be times I'll need to ask for help. I'm also going to talk to my PT a lot beforehand so that she can help me figure certain things out. I'm a person who loves to be prepared going into everything
