I've just spent 2 hours reading every ones's posts and I am here to ask for help. My sister has had BAD TN for aprox 10 years, has already had one huge surgery for it, which did nothing for her, so now she takes pain meds and tries to hang on. Last month she ended up in the emergency room twice for pain relief. She has been blessed by God today because she just received clearance that insurance will pay for her PNS surgery and she is scheduled to go in for the trial in 2 weeks. We are both kind of in shock, it happened so fast, but I am praying that this works for her, even somewhat. What advice can you brave people give us to improve this experience for her, and help insure success? Neither one of us is a stranger to big surgeries but everyone here's experiences seem so unique, I wonder what to expect for her?
We are both scared and we are both hopeful, too.
My prayers are with you all
and with love to people I feel like I already know...
