Hey all,

I've been a member of the forum for a while, and after reading all of the posts on the Intrathecal Baclofen Pump, I chose to go for it. I am a T-4 Incomplete SCI.

I live in Las Vegas, and I went to see Dr. Jason Garber. He did a FANASTIC job and his Physician's Assitant Monty Cary is amazing. I highly recommend them or Dr. Michale McKenna to anyone in the Las Vegas Area. Message me for more details.

Anyway, I just had my surgery yesterday and I am in bed recovering now. I chose to write up as many details about my procedure as I could remember while they are fresh to hopefully help someone else out who is afraid of the pump. I have an account on Hubpages.com where I post my other writings, so I chose to put it there:

So far I have minimal pain and I am still recovering. I will update more as the days/weeks go on.
