@jimhd Hi Jim: Is your implant still helping to control your pain? As I recall, it will be a while before the final step is taken. Take care. Teresa
@misdeejon42, Dottie, I want to thank you for sharing this beautiful experience with us. I feel uplifted as I read your message:-)
I am happy for you that you have found a way to enjoy some happiness with your new little buddy.

Dottie, you're doing the right thing to see your doctor. I'm going through the same thing -- the house, etc. yet I'm always busy doing things around here but feel like I'm in quicksand. Good luck and stick to your guns with the doc. I'm in the process of changing my psych. as he just doesn't listen to me. My meds aren't working.
Hi: sorry to hear that your meds aren't working, I feel the same , and trying to find the right doc. is a pain, you need one that listens and who gives you hope and you feel good after you leave his office. Don't let the quicksand get the best of you, Have you tried meditation? I sometimes go into a dark room and think about what has me down, and I usually come out feeling better, good luck and contact me anytime.Dottie
rosemary thank you I do feel better since I have gotten him.
Dottie,
I have a service dog, a McNabb. Last February, my previous service dog had a stroke or some other brain event. I still mourn his sudden death. A month later, we stopped at the local animal shelter, not expecting to find a new partner, but as soon as I saw Sadie, I felt a connection with her, and I took her home. She came with issues, but she's made a lot of progress. If I go outside, she does, too. If I'm in the house, she wants to be inside with me. She's a very sweet, smart dog.
I'm 66, and in June, we'll celebrate our 45th anniversary. Our son and daughter are both married, and our son has a 4 year old daughter. Our daughter just had a baby girl 2 months ago. He lives in Indianapolis, and she lives in New Hampshire, but in July, her Coast Guard husband will be transferred to Alameda, CA, much closer to us.
It's time to do the supper cleanup, so I need to quit writing. It's so nice that the weather has warmed up so we can eat supper on the deck.

So far, I've just done a week long trial, which gave me great pain relief. Everything having to do with the stimulator has taken way longer than I expected. I thought I'd have it soon after the first of the year. While I wait, I just have to endure the pain. I'm hoping to have the implant sometime in June.
Jim
@jimhd How nice that Sadie is working out so well for you, Jim. Teresa
@jimhd, I want you to know that while you are enduring this long waiting period, that your attitude and your hopeful messages are inspiration to me and, I'm sure, to others who pass through this forum. Thank you.
Sending prayers for your successful procedure.
Rosemary
@misdeejon42 How nice that you got a puppy, it sounds like you and the puppy are good for each other! Teresa
