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.

Do be prepared for the possibility of significant pain for the first few days post surgery... and for the possibility that you may not get much relief until it has been adjusted a few times.
I will be thinking of you and sending a lot of positive thoughts and healing energy your way.
Take care... Gaye... xxx

I hope it is smooth sailing on Monday and I am sure this stimulator is going to be what helps and it is so nice to here that an employer is being so supportive.
When you feel up to it let us know how everything is going we will be thinking and praying for you.
