Just saw this, and was hoping everything went ok with the explant. I hope it wasn't as painful as you were anticipating, and that you have a speedy recovery. I'm very sorry it didn't work for you.
When you are feeling better, I would like to communicate with you about some of the aspects of your experience (if Cyberonics lets you, of course). I have been thinking about getting that thing for almost three years now. My e-mail address is: rizzoroba at comcast dot net.
Thanks, and good luck.
Bob
