Heart Migrated leads one week after implant

I ahead my boston scientific system implanted last Tuesday. My doctor does not turn on the device for at least a week to allow for swelling to go down. I went in for my one week post op appointment yesterday to find out that my leads were no longer in the epidural space at all. He said I will need further surgery next week to have the paddle lead with laminectomy. Has this happened to any of you? How would you compare the 2 procedures. I went back to work today, still in quite a bit of discomfort. I have no pto left at work and my doctor just said it will be quite a bit longer recovery. I'm feeling so down since I got this news yesterday. I would love to hear from anyone with similar experiences. I am new here and am very excited to hear your stories. Thanks in advance....
