It is marvelous, wonderful, and gratifying to read of your progression through the darkness of pain to the ultimate enlightenment of SCS as a real possibility!! Congratulations upon your successful Trial period.... NOW if only the 13th of Jan will arrive rapidly for you so pain abatement may once again be realized through these wondrous inventions.

I am still standing in awe of my experience. Your post reminded me well of that moment during Trial when my wife asked how I felt, and I became choked up, tears began to flow, and my reply was to the effect I could not discern pain! You know this for yourself now. I just wholeheartedly pray you will come to know permanence of pain management with SCS. I do. I am sold on it as a therapy most especially when the manufacturer rep allows the patient to become personally involved with the programming of the permanently implanted device. For this reason, the article awaits my submission to publication. It will be a blessing if it survives editorial review and makes presentation in front of physician eyeballs.

For you, my friend, I pray this season will be somehow collapsed into a brief period temporally, so you awaken one morning realizing "Hey, I gotta get to the surgery center!"

Take a number,
Prayin,
