prayers up for you, your ride, and the med team, and the device!
If you were a Thoroughbred horse, I’d say try DMSO... a friend of mine has a crushed disc and I told him about it, he now uses it by the quart and swears by it.
And I know there is a lot of opposition here. But it has been proven medically and anecdotally that a good bud or two is a powerful analgesic and seems to help the nervous system reset itself.
Good luck!
BTW, lay off the sugars and starches. Insulin is a known stimulant/inflammation agent.
I know very well what pain is.
My sincere prayers that the implant will be a great success.
i pray that you have some peace tonight. try to get some sleep. remember whatever the Lord wants will be the best for you. you’ve done all you can do. (and enjoy those pain meds ;). God bless.
Prayers that this will be successful and will be the answer to your wish for less pain. It’s been a long haul for you and your family!
I hope all goes well trussell! We’ll all be praying for you.
Prayers for a successful surgery
God Bless you T! I’m praying for a successful surgery and little down time!
Kewel!!!
Hang in there
It’s a great life if you don’t weaken....
Prayers that all goes well for you. Try to relax in the meantime !
Praying for you, buddy! Pull through.
You’re in my prayers.
I think this will go very well for you.
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.
Prayers up! And a BTT

I take it you’re on your way—prayers for a successful surgery and implant.
Prayers up!
