Currently my new pain management Dr has recommended that I have the entire thing replaced. Stimulator leads, battery pack et. because there is one that has a much better success rate and is also MRI compatible.
I have told him that I want to go through with this, however with everything in such flux I will want to wait a month or two. I still have to fly out to California to see him just to get my pain meds and follow up.
The reason why California is on my radar is because I have family there. My father, and my wife's mother are both living out there. To be honest I dont have a clue where to end up living as I dont know many other states law on marijuana. I know Tn. is in the Dark Ages and not count on living long enough to see it. I also know that Florida has a farce of a medicinal marijuana law. To be honest, if I'm moving it's going to be to a fully legal state so I dont have to worry about being arrested and losing my VA benefits which plus social security is my families only income.
I know Colorado is fully legal and I think Washington state is as well, but I'm not sure. So if I was being truly honest with myself and family, we need to move to a marijuana friendly state, that also has my other needs for a specialist for my special needs son (which is thouroghly lacking here as well). Seeing how SS and my VA is my only income, cost is also another factor.
Lots of moving parts.
