I hurt to much from the surgery to label it as "discomfort". It is also tough to move, while protecting the surgical spots without bending or twisting. I am not having a problem with not lifting. The pain medicine that helps make me fall asleep, and leaves me a bit furry brained. I took less in the afternoon, so I could stay awake - this was not effective. I remained on the edge of sleepiness with a bit too much comfort to relax. Cookies, and tortilla chips are really yummy at 1 AM!
I forgot that a constant fear the 3 other times I had neurostimulators (for bladder problems) I constantly worried about the leads moving. In this life, I do not need anything else to obsess about thank you!
One interesting tidbit I have noticed. The device was turned on during surgery to test for lead activity. My brain must have taken this as a sign to not turn on the pain in certain areas. My leg pain has been reduced, as it was during the trial. I appreciate this, and it gives me hope for when the device gets activated on August 16.
