It is not easy to submit to more and more surgery. Funny thing, the reason psych evals are required for more serious surgeries anymore and always for pain management implants is to ferret out the unrealistic expectations and supposed "surgery junkies." Gotta tell ya, I cannot imagine being a surgery junkie. Someone who was that way truly would need some psych help.

One of my "friends" in the friends list "bobinjeffmo" has a pain pump. Check his posts, and you will learn of his perspective.

May God's blessings wash over you as freshest of water,
