I AM NOW BIONTIC
Hi everyone. Well I made it thru the surgery ok yesterday. It was an interesting experience. They did the surgery with a sedative since I had to be able to talk to the technician after they hooked up the wires to the stimulator. They gave me enough juice so I did not feel the pain but was able to answer questions. The surgery took right at 3 hours. We got home about 6:00 last night. Did not sleep much last night because I could not get into a confortable position where the staples did not hurt. Ann called awhile ago to get me some pain meds. I just cannot get confortable. The stimulator is working fine and the back pain is pretty much gone. I go in next Wednesday to have the staples removed and get instructions on how to charge the unit, etc.
Thank you all for your prayers and support. I just glad it is over, now I have to heal and should be ready to go.

Papa,
That is great news. I was so worried about u yesterday and I have been watching the post closely to see if Ann or someone would post on how u were doing. Im so glad that the stimulator is working for you and u have no back pain. Im sure those staples will be the worst part of it. Hopefully in a week you will be good as new. Im glad u are home already too.
God bless you
