I know how much I worry about you guys, so I had to get on to update you all. Glad Kel did it for me on FB, yep she is an angel on earth and I love her to pieces ♥

I had my surgery, they did not have to go into the brain... but did go into the neck in 4 places. He has done these surgeries for over 20 years and said mine was the biggest mess he had ever seen. Said it was very obviious why I have been in so much pain,

I hurt like hell... but great news is, because it was so obvious what is causing the neck and ON pain, he believes this surgery will not only give me the 40% pain relief he had thought before going in... bnut because of all he was able to adjust, cut and remove, he is hoping for 100% relief of the ON!!!!!

Crying.... it hurts real bad now, but I am so glad I took this risk.. and I am so hopeful for some relief from some of my daily pain. I wont know for several weeks if it workded because the pain from surgery is so severe.... but he is very optpmistic!!! And then we attack the left side after I heal and have 6 to 8 rest period. Then I might be able to say goodbye to all the ON pain!!! and just have to live with the TN and AD.... still painful for sure....

But just the thought of being able to lay my head on apillow and sleep more than 15-20 mins at a time for 11 years!!!! I just can't express how much hope I have .......

Keeping my fingers crossed... I love you all and thank you so much for the prayers and support. Much much love my friends. Its going to be a tough couple of weeks and I haven't been able to sleep at all... and I got shingles on top it, (from the surgery) so I wont be back on for awhile... but had to stop in and let me family know I am still swimming... and hope floats!!

Much love

I LOVE the name of the game you decided to play with your nephew ..Risk lol

You sound so optimistic, Nikki! I'm glad you took the chance to have a less painful future. I do hope everything works out the way the doctor thinks it should. That will be so wonderful for you to have one less thing to deal with. Praying for you, friend.

You are one tough angel Nikki! Thank you for checking in.

(((Sweetpea))) I'm so happy to hear this good news. Thank god for your wonderful doctor! Now rest dear lady.

Thank the Lord for his answer to our prayers.... Still remembering you in my prayers Nikki....

Dear Nikki,

i was not aware of all of your conditions... i just read this thread and your post on the surgery...

i would like to add my best wishes to you for a speedy recovery, and for the surgery's ultimate success in reducing your pain burden.

(((hugs)))

I have to correct myself here and regain my honesty
I posted that Nikki had a STIM implant. She had a decompression NOT a stim implant. I honestly thought she had stim till just now and getting off phone with her. Gosh do I feel dumb. I know it was a mix up and I am sorry for the mis-information. I have 3 others who are trying or have just gotten stims and well it was a honest mix up. hope my family here forgives me . And I hope God still hears my prayers for Nikki and her family.

mmmkay I feel tiny small and dumb ..I am outta here

oh Nikki still very very sore and not doing much but sitting lol punny BUTT sitting
Sending comfort healing and positive things to you Nik.
PEACE
