Hey All,
I saw the surgeons assistant today and went to the hospital for pre-op stuff. I have to be at the hospital Monday at 1:45 PM for the surgery to install the permanent Spinal Cord Stimulator. (Barring any unseen problems.) I'm really excited about it.

They wrote me out of work for 2 weeks but said if I need a couple of more weeks to recover they'll write me out for more. I guess it's gonna be pretty sore.

Workers' Comp and my employer have been real good so far about this.

Please keep me in mind and if you don't see me around for a couple of days next week you'll know why. Thank you all!!!

David.

Best of luck, David! And it's so great to hear your employer and worker's comp have been good to you, that must be such a load off your mind, which will allow you to focus on your recovery from the surgery.

I hope the SCS works great for you!
