The ride home was difficult but I wanted to get back to the comforts of home instead of staying in a hotel.

I know what you mean. My parents are both in their 70s and are my main caregivers, have been for years now, for a few decades at least. I will have CRPS come 21st September 22 years.
Yes, that is an issue with a trial, things can move. They can even move when it's permanently in place - I know people where leads have started to migrate, it's truly hit or miss. I don't mean to scare you, at all, but it is a reality.
No, moving too fast is definitely not the way to go. You don't want things to shift out of place. Keep an eye on the swelling, because if it gets infected, you need to have this removed IMMEDIATELY. Keep an eye on if you run a fever!
Best of luck!!!
