You can then attach the light brightly coloured cat leash to it so it's rather obvious to see with the lead trailing? I'm assuming there is a way to attach something to your remote in these instances. But I've just had a look at my remote and can see there is nothing that anything can be attached to. If yours is similar, maybe get some strong adhesive duct tape and wrap it round the cat lead and unit to keep them together. Cat leads are generally thin, light weight and BRIGHTLY coloured with pink, green or purple (no idea why so bright) and very distinctive. With one of those leads trailing your chances of finding it much much easier.

Our Nevro units are different to the Boston, Medtronic and St Jude's, in that we don't have to constantly adjust the levels. Also our remotes are ginormous in size, think TV remote and kinda hard to misplace Actually I wonder Phil n Wingy why you carry your remotes around with you? I rarely take mine anywhere far from the top of the chest of drawers (where it lives) have I missed out on some key instruction from the nevro rep? Maybe I'm supposed to carry it with me in case I have an accident and it needs to be turned off ?

Anyway Mims, I have established a routine so once I've finished charging my unit in the mornings, I return the paddle charger to my bedside table, plug it in to recharge and when I go to bed at night I disconnect the paddle from the power source. That way my paddle charger is always fully charged up and ready to go once again every morning. It also means it's not in the kitchen or near other household items that can potentially drain the power.
