hi all,

Well, here it is at day 11 with my perm scs. I love it soooo much. I can't believe how great it works. The first week or so was really uncomfortable. Not from the rsd, but from the back and butt surgery. My incisions are both about 2 and a half inches. The stitches came out on day 9. Doc said that it was healing great, but that I still have about 7 weeks of not doing anything. I need to let the leads scar in place. I'll do whatever I have to do to have it work. Doc also said that he really thought that I would be able to go back to riding the horses in about 6 months or so. I am so happy. Again, all I can tell everyone is if your doc suggests it, give the trial a go. It will not work for everyone, but if it works for you that you can start to have your life back. You must do what the doc says tho. trying to rush things too fast can cause problems with the leads. I was sleeping for the whole surgery. They said that they woke me up, but I don't remember it at all. The leads have been stitched in place, but they can move a little when I move around, so I am being good and not doing anything. Just wanted to let everyone know that I am back up and running

Hugs
Mary
