Follow up visit with the doctor went great. I didn't even have to say anything about leaving the trial unit in. The doctor encouraged me to leave it in until next Wednesday because I have been up and moving and he feels like I should continue to do that as much as possible in the next week because it will make it easier on me when I get the permanent one in. Yay!!

So I am scheduled to go in to get the trial leads removed next Wednesday and then the permanent unit implanted on December 11th! That feels like it's so far away but I know it will be here before I know it.

I also want to note that while my back is still a little sore, it mostly is only bothering me when I am sitting or laying down, specifically when I try to change positions. While standing or walking my back doesn't bother me hardly at all unless I reach for something (which I'm not supposed to do).

Will keep everyone updated on any other progress over the next week or so. Let me know if you have any questions!
