Many thanks for the reassurance that everything is going along normally.

I haven't yet had any adjustments to the programming yet. My area of stim seams to be pretty good as far as the area of coverage goes, so I am reluctant to have any changes done yet. I have an appt. today so maybe I'll go ahead with some tweaking.. a little scared that I might lose the current coverage but, I'm sure that is just my own fears.

The pain in the back/shoulder blades - after reading all your posts I do believe this is pain of 'disuse' and that once I am able to stretch and bend a little it will subside. Trying to be patient.. 3 more weeks, 3 more weeks..

The hot tub has been a big help as has massage therapy. My massage therapist stays away from the leads and IPG site but works the rest pretty good.. oh if I could just go in more often

I feel like someone is dangling an ice cream cone in front of me.. but telling me I'm on a diet at the same time. I know I can do more now that I have the SCS but.... the BLAST really sucks!! I really, really want that chocolate chip mint.... patience I know, patience. Here is one reason it is so hard...


I was BLASTING.. here I promise!



The mountains are calling me. Wishing you all the most enjoyable, rewarding day possible,
Tessa
