Default Had my surgery for the VNS.

I had my surgery yesterday and it went good. I got home about 7 last night. My surgery was to be at 1:30 and it was changed to 2:30 due to another surgery taking longer.

My cut in my neck looks about 2 inches long but where the box is is covered so I can't see it. So far I am doing ok with pain. I take my Methadone instead of the Ultraset that he gave me.

It will be around the 23rd when it is turned on. As I had said before a man from the company is coming down from Denver to show me and the Dr. how to set it. I hope I can learn and do it. My memory and stress makes me not be able to do anything anymore. I told that to my Dr. last night and he said he'd just turn it up to the memory part a little higher. LOL This will be the first one he has ever seen or delt with so it's going to be interesting.

I do know it takes time to see any difference. The book said up to 6 months.
With me, my depression is so bad I just don't know. I've had Drs. tell me I would never get well but maybe this will be the answer.

Thanks for all of the support from all of you.
