Getting my pain pump on the 8th!
Whoo hoo! I'm getting the medtronic pain pump with Prialt in it. Yes, I've read all the black box warnings and whatnot. If it's horrible, I'll get it taken out, but the trial went really well and I felt great that day. My feet felt pretty much normal and my pain went down to a 2!
I'll go in Wed really early, they put the catheter in my back when I'm still awake the doc said, then they knock me out and put the device in me. I'll stay overnight in the hospital. The doc said I'll be sore for a few days but that I should be able to go back to work the following Monday.
I got a big bottle of Vit C to start loading up on that. Should've been doing it already, but I've read it's a super good idea to do now. Any other advice?
