Hi all!

I trust all of you so much, and thus I am looking for your help...

As I mentioned in another thread, my permanent SCS implant is scheduled for Dec. 27th... I am extremely excited, especially because I'm in a time crunch before my ins runs out (before I "age out" of my Dad's ins), but I'm also very nervous as I don't really know what to expect as far as recovery...

Can you guys share what you experienced as to recovery, pleeease?? I am just so nervous that I'm going to wake up in unbearable pain that lasts for weeks... Also, I am getting help from my mom with Dog care (she is going to take my pup for a while to help out, as he likes to hide under the couch, etc, where I wont be able to get at him after surgery), but I'd like to stay at home... Is this an okay idea? or should I plan to stay at my Dad's for a while? (as I did during my trial stim, but it was just not the best time, but the option is there if need be).

Thanks so much for the advice!
