OK, so getting an SCS is serious business......
BUT There is a flip side to this..... and to be quite frank, we could use a break from the drama. Sometimes we have to just be 'silly'. Why? Because.
We have to LIVE with this new BODYPART ......so why don't we just make the best of it, i mean really..... If we can laugh, then we'll be more fun to be around and our friends won't think we are such deadbeats....and life won't seem so......bleah.
Let's share some SCS stupidity!

Here's a fine example:....
I had my first get-together with several of my girlfriend buddies shortly after I had my SCS implanted....I could sense a slight awkwardness in the air, as they weren't sure just how to go about asking about my unit....they knew nothing of what it actually IS.....finally, one of them piped up and said, "SO!, Rae......um, how does that thing work ??? Like, if your battery runs low, will you slump over and should we PLUG you IN to something??"

I laughed so hard, I forgot the words to 'Kumbaya' and my SCS surged so much that I about fell over!!

Anyone ELSE have anything 'stupid' to share??
