I was so touched when I read everyone's replies and it meant a lot to me. Its been such a stressful week for me with the legal stuff and dealing with health problems. I also had to go to the hospital for my mom's tests and we still don't know what is wrong with her

Then I had to start new catheter treatments yesterday for my IC and I have to go for a test tomorrow about my pelvic pain. I can't believe my doctors actually said that I should not be feeling any pain at all because I have a neurostimulator! Its not like it is hooked up all over my body and I still have issues with pain and numbness in my legs but the stim does help a lot. I also found out that the injuries in my back will never go away and will probably just keep getting worse so I am doubly thankful I was able to even get a stim! I was also mad though because I found out during the legal thing that some of my doctors had lied to me about things and I did not know things were this bad or that I would keep getting worse. Anyway, I am not going to dwell on it because I should just be thankful I am not in that wheelchair or walker anymore and I will probably be in pain for the rest of my life...but that is just the hand I got dealt and I will deal with it and keep working on things. I am also going to start relearning how to drive in the spring. Well, I need to wrap this up I can't wait to meet the new people on here and I am so glad to see my old friends again

Rae, I forgot to tell you that I do plan on making a blog or something about my whole stimulator experience from the trial-to the paddle leads in November but I need to wait until the legal stuff is totally done! I already started writing a mini version on my facebook but that was just because my friends kept asking me what my stim was lol. I really hope that being able to share my story will help other people and will let you guys know about it when it is finished

Take care!
