I will digress later. As for now this will be a journal of the ins and outs of my Cervical SCS trial for pain management.
I long for a hot shower, and to be able to wash my own hair. My goodness, it has been less than 48 hours and I already feel like I look like a poor homeless person. I have to wear this silly cervical collar to boot which makes me look like I have 4 chins. It's all enough to drive a Virgo mad: or am I still considered a Virgo?
After returning home yesterday from the trial implant it was possible to take a much needed nap with the stimulator on at pretty good rate. Last night however, was a different story all together (No doubt the Versed had finally worn off). It was discovered that once the SCS is turned up significantly enough to be felt in the neck and shoulders while lying down on ones side that the by product is something akin to the teeth chattering of a naked Californian in Alaska, if and when one rolls over onto their back while sleeping. A rude awakening to be sure. It does seem to help the pain however while laying still and fully supine.
Isn't that what I am trying to get away from with pain management?
