Girl, I knew you had too much on your plate back when we first met. Thank goodness you allowed yourself grace, listened to your body, and took the semester off. Thay was a big step! Understandably, not an easy decision but your well-being has to come first.
Incredible news that the SCS trial gave you relief! First, I was happy to see you replied back but then went on to read you had success and are feeling relief. You made my day.
I'm sorry you've been sick and wish you so much luck on the 21st. I, and other Connect members look forward to hearing how you progress forward with the permanent implant. Please take care and keep your chin up. Even us positive folks hit the bottom sometimes. Keep on keeping on. Good luck. You got this!!

@rwinney Hey there! Sorry for the delay again in response...I've been physically 'down' these last two weeks recovering from my surgery, and I've been hyperfocused catching up on some of the activities I've neglected for a while i.e. language studies, seeing friends and relaxing ! 🙂 Anyways, my surgery on 12/21 was a complete success - took about 3 hours - and I've had 100% symptom relief i.e. pain/nausea/hypersensitivity for 17 days now !!! I feel like I've been given my life back and my old skin traded out for something brand new that feels good! CRAZY. I never doubted tho - everything lined up perfectly and now I'm so happy and grateful and love waking up in the morning with a new sense of joy in my life! I've still got some swelling that needs to go away, 3 months of recovery/restrictions ahead and some sporadic sickness i.e. throwing up w/o a cause, but otherwise I'm just taking it easy and slowly resuming life's activities. I start back my spring semester for school on Jan. 30, and I took one thing off my plate also, but you know me...something else will creep itself on and I'll welcome it in! LOL. Always looking forward and staying positive. Thanks for all your thoughts and support on my behalf - it really means the world to me, and I'm so grateful!!! Hope you're doing well yourself! 🙂 <3
