Up late tonight. Can’t sleep...waiting on my transport to take me for the surgery in the morning. Going to implant the spinal cord stimulator. Please pray that the unit works to relieve my pain!

I Have to be there at 5 am...my ride will pick me up at 3:15. The surgery is a same day surgery...it will take from 1 to 4 hours to program the unit from what I’ve been told.

As you, it would please many that have responded to your
need, for HIM to control the process in order for it to work.

Prayers up trussell.

Had the implant for the spinal cord the 27th of January with the temporary unit on the outside of the body for three days and on the 31st had the permanent power pack inserted on the lower left side below the rib cage.

From the 27th of January through the 7th of February felt like I was in a car wreck, was very sore.

I have to admit I do see an improvement in every day functions and have reduced my Vicodin intake from 6 a day down to three a day.

I feel very optimistic about the stimulator and some relief associated with it.

I sure hope it works for you and I hope it keeps working for me also.
