A little late but I'd like to add my 2 cents. I also noticed there was no mention of natural remedies or attempts to try anything natural. And as far as medicines, it would be interesting to know if she takes and what she must take--probably for the balance of her life.
Any surgery that is done on the human body can cause problems. There are many risks and this surgery is too new. I have heard that less than a dozen have been performed worldwide--I also wonder what exercise may do to the implant? a car accident or any violent movement---can the implant be moved? And if moved or jarred what are the consequences?
I am also wondering about the "computer" that she wears. How is that powered? If battery and the computer is inside the body, how is it changed? Again, another surgery.
I think everyone would agree that it was a success for her and hope her new life continues--but I think there are still too many unanswered questions.
