The Dr visit to find out about the Surgery and when it will take place














I went to the Nero Surgeon yesterday to find out more about having the Nero stimulator implanted in for permanent I learned a lot. I am going to go with the Small one that you recharge as shown above they will implant that in my butt and I will have the remote the black thing also shown above to adjust the strength and the location of the electrical pulses that are preprogrammed to fit my needs and they Will implant the paddle leads as shown above also the wider ones they will tunnel they under my skin from my spin to the controller and I am going to be part awake ( not looking forward to this at all) but in the end it will be worth it. I will be down for a few weeks until they heal into place. It will take place on Oct 27 2008 at Pioneer valley Hospital with Dr Harris. I will not be able to go Thur the airport security or have a MRI they are just like a pace maker and do not work with them I will have a card that explains what I have to show to security. So if you know any one that is suffering from chronic pain let them know about this it can help so many people with all kinds of pain.
