Dear Vivster

Good luck with the trial. Hope it brings you some relief. Keep us up to date if you can.

You're buzzing away :)
 

Hi Viv

I'm so happy you are getting some sense how your stim is works for you and I hope your trial is long enough that you do get some relief.

I'm happy for you;

Day 5 is better :)
 

Today seems to be the best day to see how I can do more actions. I came to work yesterday for a few hours, but just decided to go home, as everone wanted to talk and look at my "box". ha Today I've been here since five hours, and it has been pretty tolerable. I've reduced the meds quite a bit, and have seen how the stim helps me move around my desk, and SIT in my chair without being obsessed with pain. Was able to have a couple more programs added, and I really found one that helps with the lower back burning and "broken" feeling. (I really don't think I fused properly - but can't get a firm "yes" from anyone).
I can see how this truly will give me an opportunity to do more - and it's amazing! I'm ready to do some dancing, but the reps told me to hold off for now. :D Will have the weekend and Monday left, with the leads to be removed on Tuesday - 11/8. Got a hair wash and cut scheduled for this evening!! YaY :Crazy 2: My hair is stuck flat on my head today. It's all worth it though. Hope all are having a great day!
Vivian

Thank you for this update Vivster! I am thrilled to see that you are doing this well! The surgical pain should subside soon.
How amazing that they found a program to help with the back pain as well! I suffer some pretty horrid pain flares and spasms in my lower back and I know how this affects sitting at a deskjob. It's an added bonus that you'll get some relief from this!

So happy for you!
Mark, should we put on a cyber-dance in Viv's honor?! :D

I'm so happy for you that your SCS is working and that you're noticing all the positive differences in your life! It's such a fantastic feeling- enjoy the rest of your trial!!

Viv!!!!!!!!
 

How Thrilled am I : o )

You are doin it girl!!!! So, Rae had a good idea, and we are gonna throw a dance in your honor. Cleo is warming up the Sax, I the Guitar, our two oldest sons, the piano, the drums, the bass, and the lead guitar, and Rae plays a mean guitar too, we can even get Joan on both UKE and Mandolin!!! Come on down to the dance.... I think I can Hear the MUSIC NOW... I get to be on your dance card, yes?

CARING,
Mark:grouphug:

I can hear you all setting up for a great dance party.

Hope to hear the UK as I'm grounded in Hawaii with ear infections and can't fly home. I've seen the Dr 3X in the past 4 days. He says my ear drum will burst. Can't really complain it is Hawaii! Hopefully I will be able to fly home on Sunday. I will see the Dr at 8am and my flight is at 10:30........
:Sick:

Sandy

Ouch with a blessing
 

Well, Sandy, sorry about your so much about those ear infections..... but at least you are at sea level in a paradise......

Yup,
