 Hello Everyone,


I just had a permanent Spinal Cord Stimulator implanted on Monday, June 2nd for my RSD and thought I would share with you the pictures of the incisions just 4 short days afterwards. They are healing up nicely and I am enjoying the SCS, except I can't turn it up too high because it irritates the incisions a bit, but I have had it one ever since leaving the hospital Monday.  I am looking forward to the charging process, which will be tomorrow or Sunday because I am down to 2 bars left and they said to charge it when it is at 1 bar so I figure it will be within the next couple days anyway.  Should be hilarious to watch the first time, but I am not going to film it for you....hahahahaha.  I will take a picture of the charger on me doing it's thing though. =)

Anyway, here are the 2 pictures:

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask me....I welcome all comments and questions.

~Much Love~

In His Glory,
Coach Marla

    I had a trial put in a week ago Thursday. From the start I could feel a lot of electricity in my left leg. It never went to my lower back. Do you feel the electricity in your back? How much pain does it stop? The right lead has moved and does not work. I am trying to decide if it is worth to do another trial.
