Spinal Cord Stimulator

Today Will and I were at the hospital all afternoon, me getting a trial spinal cord stimulator.  It's like having a tins unit inside my body, vibrating from hip to feet.  I'm very hopeful.  

The anesthesiologist was my age or older, a character.  

My pain management doctor did the procedure--I like her very much!


In one week, it will be un-installed and we'll decide whether the level of effectiveness warrants a permanent one.  The temporary one is a block attached to my back with leads going into my spine.  The permanent one is all inside, sort of like a pace maker.
