Lori, at this point, having followed your journey all the way through, about all I can say is Ugh! No one I have heard about had higher hopes for one of these things to work, put in more effort to finally get the darn thing installed (while working around all the covid obstacles), and struggled more than you with the doctors and the reps to try to successfully get it to reduce your pain. You are a testament to what it means to strive for something. I have been inspired by your commitment and dedication to having this done so it can help you to have a better life. Some of us humans, ones like you anyway, will go to amazing lengths to try to get out from under, and move beyond, challenges and difficulties you are faced with. I know you are beyond discouraged, as am I for you, but, as a person of Faith as I know you are, I hope you know that whatever struggles we have in life are never a waste. God sees your efforts and struggles. He will not forget them.

You ARE an inspiration! I know that in itself does nothing for your suffering, but your service to others through giving out this info and allowing others to follow your journey, is a very good thing that you do. I appreciate you. Hank
