My doc is willing to release me if I can reverse the balance problems caused by the spinal cord stimulator. I am now spending lots of time without my cane. Each week my balance improves. I am also working hard on my lower body strength now that the atrophy is totally gone. My once useless hand which had a severe spread due to the spinal cord stimulator is now 100% BACK TO NORMAL. (And to think that a popular treatment protocol for spreads induced by spinal cord stimulators is to install another stimulator!) Where would I be now if I had done that? When I look at my wrists now I have to think about it for a second to remember which hand was hopelessly painful and atrophied.
At this rate I am thinking about returning to work in the fall.
I am planning to be right behind you Catra! Please let us know how your meeting with you employer went today.

I am so happy for you James. I really hope that you will be able to return to work in the fall like you want to.
The meeting with my employer this morning seemed like it went okay, though I admit that I was disappointed that there was no resolution to the situation proposed and it was only a meeting for them to gather additional information from me. That was not what I was led to believe it would be and I am a little miffed at the 2 hour drive each way for the 35 minute meeting....but it is what it is. I was told that I would be contacted in a couple of days after the HR guy discusses everything with his supervisor so we shall see. I am so anxious to return and get back to it.
