Default Congratulations
That is a fantastic report Jim.

I had similar results except mine were all squeezed into a week. I had the electrodes implanted on Monday, the stimulators on Thursday am, initial programming Thursday pm, 3.5 hour plane trip home Friday, and back to work on Monday.

Prior to surgery I was taking 35 pills a day and after 6 weeks was down to 6 with two meds completely eliminated.

Again congratulations on your very successful life changing surgery.

Dale
