Neuro-stimulator trial

What a week it's been! Amy decided to give the neuro-stimulator a trial run, so it was implanted on Monday...2 leads inserted into her spine...yikes! It gave her the ability to tweak the different programs that would send impulses in her legs that would hopefully mask the pain in her feet. The first 36 hours were a bit painful and she pretty much slept thru them. But once she was up and moving and able to tweak the programs she realized pretty quickly it wasn't something she was happy with. She'd already proven she could survive culinary school with the pain in her feet by taking medication and icing her feet after labs, so she wasn't thrilled about the idea of having to get used to new sensations in her legs, feet, & ankles. And the idea of going thru another invasive surgery wasn't too appealing, either. So today we had it removed, and she's been practically dancing with joy ever since! She's been amazing...positive and upbeat and an inspiration to all of us. And now we're ready to deal with the days ahead. Part 2 of this update will be posted next week...stay tuned!
