Its been a double loop roller coaster ride for me lately.
But while I was going threw boxes of papers and pics I found ones of me after I had my final implant and wanted to add them on this thread.
I have mine for v-3 the lower RIGHT . batter under my left arm along bra line...needed to be placed there because of history of breast cancer... those who have implant need to consider placement of battery . have the wires across to mid back and then up and to lower right side of jaw .
anyways. very tired but want to post these up before the pics are lost in one of the many boxes i have.
I will be back soon , just had memorial service for my mom on new years eve and then yesterday family stood in surf as I waded out and let my mom go in the ocean waves.
anyways so off topic sorry. I just want to get these pics up. Keep in mind I had this done in 2002 but here is pics of T-Rex . I wish I found these when I first started this thread but better late then not at all eh?? lol
be able to catch up after company leaves I hope.

PEACE

It has been far too long since I have checked in on you my friends, and even Cheryl, who lives here in our metro area. I owe her a touch base. So much water has passed under our bridge since last we shared posts.

On the positive side I am fully withdrawn from all pain management meds and handle the pain management solely with my stim, dialing it up and down as needed. Amazing what this little device will do. I call it God's miracle for all of us and feel especially grateful to have its benefit personally. Also, we learned from our Army son and daughter-in-law just recently that come end of August we will be grandparents for our first time ever! How about that?

I hope things are going well for you all, and want you to know you are kept close in my prayers though I have not been here writing.

Blessings,
Mark56

Mark I just got off phone with Cheryl she says hi to you and your wife and she will probably come post an update soon.

Was nice to chat with easygoing also... but sad to hear she has her plate full and maybe having to have another MVD due to being in auto accident and the Teflon may have been knocked off . Please keep her in your positive thoughts over the next few months as she gets everything sorted out and fixed. Her Stim is fine tho Thank Goodness. YES LISA YOU ARE FRAGILE!! even just tripping over the rug and falling can cause the leads or battery to move or migrate. So None of that okay. I am sooo glad the stim wasnt damaged in the accident . and you are fine.

Now if I can just catch up with Lily . I am starting to worry as I have called a few times and have not had luck being able to chat with her. but You are in my thoughts .. and I still care and hope things are going okay. If I dont hear from you soon I am gonna send my dog out to hunt ya down.

also Have 2 for sure new ones getting Stim for t.n. and another 3ed one pushing for approval and referral to get one... and I pray you do get approval. I am rooting for everyone of yous to have all things go well and be successful!
remember I ..we are here for you'all Just Reach and I / we will reach back.
PEACE
BMW...Tina

BIG HUGZ BMW to you for your work to reach out and keep the TN group huddled up! Thank you also for passing my howdy to Cheryl and hers to us. Think I will give her a call...

'Bye for now,
