Good luck Valerie. Any idea when they'll go ahead with it?

My neuro said that the hospital should be calling soon to set up the apt for the surgery date. He said since the battery is completely dead that they will get on it pretty quick.
He did say the battery's last longer in the newer models however it depends on what the settings are. If it's set low, the battery lasts longer. If it's set high (which mine is) the battery won't last as long but it should be longer than what this one did.
Hope everything goes well with you too arnie!

The only bad thing now though is my husband is afraid to take me out of the house because I don't have the VNS to use.
I's gone out within the last 4 months because that's when my last apt was. Who knows it could have been dead for 4 months or only a week?
On Saturday we're going to see Trans-Siberian Orchestra and they have a huge light show during the performance. Lights never bothered me before or after the VNS so I'm keeping my fingers crossed.
