Sorry I didn't respond sooner. Puter problems. I did know today was the day and you have been in my prayers. I know today was a tough day. I no longer call Pain Man by his name..........to his face. I call him Roter Router Man. Three hours of pushing and rooting around was a bit much and I got a bit sarcastic............nothing critical as he IS my hero. When he got tired of listening to me and spooking the Medtronic rep., he would tell the surgical nurse to give me some more Versed and shut me up. Now I know how to get more Versed. It will start to get better fast. I hope and pray that you experience what I did............total elimination of the neuropathy. I was shocked............no pun intended, as I never expect THAT. Hang tough. You are do for some good luck. Soft gentle hugz.
