So Far OK

Was told the surgery went well.  She now has a new model of spinal stimulator implanted.  Apparently the anesthetic used has some lasting effects.  She's been sleeping for about 4 hours since we got home.

The new stimulator and wires are supposed to be MRI friendly, unlike the old unit.  I was told that the wires, now removed, would heat up from the field of the superconductor magnet.

Too early to tell if the new unit will help her pain management, but at least she's now MRI friendly.  Apparently her titanium knee, nor my nickel-chrome-boron hip are an issue with MRI.
