How Stimulating......


The picture above is similar to the procedure that I had..except I don't have it implanted yet.


Well yesterday was the big day. I had the surgery for the trial spinal cord stimulator. I was awake during the whole surgery and wasn't given any anesthesia. Nope, they only used some local anesthetic and that's it! Whew...it was scary! The surgery went well, but boy am I sore today! My back in killing me, thank god for drugs! LOL
But besides the soreness, the stimulator is working wonderfully! I slept last night for the first time in about 5 years without any pain..and today at work...usually after about 3 hours I am hurting really badly, but no pain! Woohoo...sadly, the only thing that hurts is my back!
But anyhoo...Daniel and I preleased our new apartment on Sunday. It's a nice Townhouse with about 400 more square feet than what we have right now. We're so excited about being able to do laundry at our own house..and not his mothers house! LOL So we officially move in on the 24th of July....can't wait! So 79 days and counting!
The summer session has officially started. I'm so not looking forward to the Algebra, but Sociology sounds fun! Well off to finish homework! Talk to you again soon!
