Most miserable ailment i have had.

Had a bad fall off a ladder in my garage landed on my butt. Cracked one vertebra and compressed several more. Dr's recommended surgery didn't want to go that route. Had several cortisone injections and drugs. The pain was so bad spent about two years in and out of a wheelchair. Went to a pain management specialist who recommended I try a spinal cord stimulator. They inserted the battery powered stimulator just above my waistline. The next morning after surgery I was able to walk without any pain. Don't know if I can call it a miracle but it's gotta be close. Almost like a cell phone recharge the battery about every eight days.
 
My wife is down with it as we speak. In terrible pain-and we are on a cruise ship sitting in Venice and scheduled for another week. Can’t get a decent flight to go home (and she couldn’t stand it anyway). Ships crew is great, but I will NEVER let myself be put in this kind of situation again. God bless and I hope you get some relief soon. Pray for us..

Thanks-our “dream vacation” has became a nightmare. Guess I should have specified “good dream”🙄. Viking is Excellent highly recommend. Unfortunately wife is in incredible amount of pain, no decent connections home from here (multiple connections, LONG travel times) until we reach Athens. (And then it’s 11.5 hours to JFK, a three hour layover and two more to Nashville☹️). She’s a trooper but this is really taking a toll…
