Gonna wait on getting the SCS
Well, after a lot of thought and prayer, I've decided to wait for awhile before getting the implant. Maybe I'm just a big chicken, or maybe overly cautious since my fusion surgery made things worse instead of better. I talked to the orthopedic surgeon's nurse today about it and she agreed that I don't need to rush into this, and I should be sure I want to do it before taking the plunge. I kind of want to see if I can manage the pain without surgery for now.
Actually, the past week or so I've felt quite a bit better. I finished up my physical therapy, but have continued my home program and the pain hasn't been as bad, nor as limiting. I actually even played my guitar and sang in the worship group at church Sunday! I love it--hadn't participated like that in a couple of years, and had forgotten what a blessing it is to be a part of the music program. I'm fairly new to this little church, so it's also a good way for me to get to know some folks. Anyway...we'll see how it goes! I'm still gonna hang around here with you all, partly because you're such a WONDERFUL bunch of friends, and also because I've found more experience and info here than anywhere else.
Just want you all to know how much I appreciate the contribution that everyone here makes. You are one special group of folks, and I'm grateful to have found you!
Hugs all 'round,
Jan
