Heart Awwww Yellow, a Court Bench?????
I know an alternative to that, but I cannot go into it here as I would be overreaching the purpose of this place. Thus I am muted. Check out the Members Mall under the Classifieds on the General page at the home of NT.... you might find something interesting there.

Pain on a wooden bench is totally unacceptable,
Yup,
Still Prayin for ya too,
Mark56zzzz

P.S. Go for the sky on that Masters program, we are cheering for you here!

I will take it easier during this trial than I did with the last one, simply because I've graduated and don't start classes for my Master's program til Fall, so I have more time at home. Monday and Tuesday of next week, though, I get to sit on a hard court bench for 3 hours each day to support a family member. Will be bringing lots of pillows there!
Hey Yellow....those little jolts were kinda weird, but you learn how certain positions cause them and which ones don't. There were more with the trial since it is not as secure. Once the permanent scarred in, I rarely get them. I never had them from the thoracic SCS, they say it happens in the cervical one because of the small space where the leads are...makes sense to me

Glad you will have the time to take it easier with this trial. Nothing like having a million things to do when going through this!!

Good luck at court...definitely bring something for comfort with you...ugh!

What day is your trial scheduled for?

Nanc

Thanks Mark. I will look into the cushion, I know it has been highly endorsed by many people here.

My trial surgery is on Thursday, less than 48 hours away now. I'm supposed to go in at 11:45, which means I actually get to get a full night's sleep this time instead of waking up at dawn!

Heart Gee You have given me a thought
I should start a policy that anyone who sends in an email to the site mentioning the name Mark56 gets free shipping. Huh. Not much of a merchandiser am I?

Anyway Yellow, may your Trial go wonderfully well, and may you find the peace you are seeking in this possible treatment method.
Prayin,
Mark56zzzz

Thanks Rae, I'm very happy to say it went well today! I'm just dealing with the surgical pain. I started a new thread so that it'll be easier for others to find in the future and talked more about how it went there
