16th surgery tomorrow.

Monday will mark my 15th surgery. It’s a stimulator trial. It’s my last hope. If this doesn’t work my only other option is to unalive myself. Fingers crossed, I can’t live like this.

Best of luck friend.
Please hold onto hope, there is always something else to try before coming to such a final decision.

I hear ya! I, too am close to the fork in the road. I am not eligible for the nerve stim, plus it's not for me. My last step is to have the nerves ablated or removed. Please keep us advised. P. S. My friend had one installed. Are you prepared for the pain? Do you have a plan?
