Thanks so much for the kind words regarding my son. I can't tell you how much that means to me. Today would have been his birthday, so I can imagine a big party going on in Heaven!

Got the leads out today, so am feeling a little less sore. I had tried everything to try to get the thing to work again--replaced batteries, switched leads around to plug into each socket, tried every combination I could think of, but the left lead was just dead. I think it must have broken or something, which was what the doctor and Boston Sci. rep thought as well. But at least now I know that it will work to manage my pain, if they can get everything placed correctly. I'm still going to think it over and do a little more research before making that final decision. It sure helps to come here and benefit from everyone else's experiences, too!

Gonna go take a shower and a nap now that all that tape and bandage stuff is off me.

Hugs,
Jan
