I started my trial yesterday and all I can say is WOW! I can't believe it is real, I honestly thought the pain would never end and that this is how my life would be forever. I will be sad for the trial to stop but will have this glimmer of hope to hold onto while I wait to get my perm. unit. I have a Medtronic and the rep was awesome! the procedure took a long time because the doctor kept hitting scar tissue or hardware. he eventually decided to approach my cord from the "top" with access between my shoulder blades and threaded down because everything below my injury site was gunked up with scar issue. The moment h was in thr right spot I knew that my life would change. I have some irritation from the tape and I itch all over but other than that I could not be happier! we are expecting a lot of snow this evening and into tomorrow but I plan to go for a walk anyway!!!

Happy to hear your trial is going well!! I have a MedTronic, and I will say that the reps here in Mid-Michigan are great and very caring and understanding. I have not been the "text book" patient, but they are very attentive and helpful to date. Good luck and enjoy your glimmer of hope!!

My trial worked great for the wk. I had it too but I was REALLY irritated from the tape too. I have a latex allergy and it seems the tape they used had latex in the adhesive. I am going in on Tues (3/1) to have the permanent scs implanted. Medtronics.
BTW; I am mom of twins also. They will be 16 in 3 wks and another son that will be 18 in one wk. good luck..hope you can get the perm one soon. |
