I knew you were replying to an older post...I was just catching you up to date on the new prayer need, not realizing you were actually already up to date. I didn’t take it that you were saying anything against me!

!!!!!!!!!UPDATE!!!!!!!!

News on my medical front...saw my pain management doctor Friday. They can’t do anything with the current treatment, so they are suggesting a spinal cord stimulator. It’s wires and a battery pack implanted. The wires go into the spinal column, the battery pack is implanted in the back of my hip and I would have a hand held unit to change the settings. The battery charger would be placed over the battery pack once a week using a belt to hold it in place. I will get a procedure to test it first, if...while on the table...I don’t feel anything positive, it’s taken off and we try something else (they wouldn’t elaborate...they said something, but wouldn’t repeat it)...if at first I think it might work, they tape it all down and let me try it for a week or two. If I like how it works, it’s surgically implanted...if not, it’s removed and go back to plan B

Also, I’m being told my wheelchair will be picked up by Friday as the insurance is refusing further rental of it. Can they really do that when my legs still won’t work?

Please pray for a miracle...and if anyone has had this procedure done with good or not good results, I’m begging you to tell me your experience with it...I’m a bit unsure about implanting an electrical device inside my body!
