.....it's the button on the back of the controller.....it says 'auto eject'

This thread is an EXCELLENT one on the topic of paddles/leads.....

It's good to resurrect some of these older threads! They are FULL of good stuff!

Hope this helps Twinmom!

I haven't visited here in a while. But I'm now about seven months into my SCS implant. I mountain bike twice a week, averaging one six hour and one three hour ride per week, with 2,000 to 5,000 ft. of climbing. Three rides per week were too much. I have fallen off my bike dozens of times with no problems. So far I have not gone over the handlebars like I occasionally used to. That would probably spell trouble.

The SCS is not as effective while riding since my back is hunched a bit, which reduces the stimulation. But it certainly makes enough difference while not riding to justify the procedure. I have also gone back to my usual one hour weight workouts 3-4 times per week. I'm just careful about how much I bend my back.

Have a new mountain bike, and looking forward to giving it a go. I am still told to be careful, however. Been riding streets and such.

Thank you very much for your post and returning to give us a Hi, Sierra Nevada Mountain style,

WOW! There probably is NO way I could get Wherewolf to believe me that HE crossed my mind when I typed a post earlier mentioning these 'active' fellas that have passed thru! HONEST! As I was typing that post....in the back of my mind I was thinking how cool it would be to hear an update!

I should know the answer to this question Wolf, if you're still here....
refresh my memory......did you get the laminectomy/paddles?
If not, then you've got some incredible anchors holding in your leads if they are only percutaneous.
You are ONE active fella!
I bet when you get home from riding and are able to just kick back and relax....that tingling stimulation just sooths you to the bone, yes?

When I've had a hectic day....I love to be able to just relax and feel that soothing sensation.....such a needed reward compared to that horrible burning/stabbing wretched pain!

Thank you so much for the update!
What a great treat for us!

....and Mark! a new bike for you! You will become 'ONE' with the mountain...... am i starting to sound like Jim Morrison?

No paddles for me.

So glad to hear Wherewolf that you are up and out and soooo active. Its great to read how far you have come since you received your SCS....and long may it continue
