You are all helping me understand the full range of possibilities, realities, and need for clear continuous communication regarding the process and healing from SCS, and I THANK YOU! Waiting on my end for the go ahead scheduling call that means insurance and docs have cleared the way for my implant. Golfing? KZL, really? Wow, if you can overcome the surgical pain that would be just too cool. Gosh, if clearance to golf with its twisting swings can happen for you, well, really, it seems dancing with my wife or skiing for that matter might not be off the recovery road map.

Among my hopes, dreams, goals is dancing [skiing, well, I will leave that one for the docs to allow or restrict], reducing the opiates, returning from Never Never Land and resuming work if that is a reality. I have so much hope!! The lot of you help me find and touch it. It feels good.

Hugs all around,
