Yeah, when they went over the SCS for him they had us come to a class. There were 2 other couples in the class and a younger 20 something guy. It went over it with pictures, and instructional drawings the entire procedure for the trial. Then it went over it for the surgery. There was a PA who ran the class, that lasted for about 3 hours and answered everyones questions. They even had SCS units there so everyone could look at it, handle it, get an idea of what it is. Then the PM Dr did a one on one with us, explained both procedures, even told him that when he had the permanent one done, he would have about a 6 inch cut in his butt cheek where the implant would be and that his back would bruise a lot due to running the leads. He explained it would not be a comfortable thing for him to go through but that he would keep him as comfortable as possible and the first 2 weeks would be the hardest for him. I cant say enough good things about his PM Dr. I hope the one theyre sending us to that will do it in a hospital setting is as nice, caring and informative. My husband is scared to go to another dr, but I told him, Its not that far from the house, his family could be there and if there were any complications I would feel better knowing hes in a hospital where he can get the care for anything that could go wrong. I wont tell him, but I can say it here, I would be lying if I said I wasnt scared for him. But I do believe the Dr is right, this is just about his last hope.
