One more small update regarding the back pain from a little over a week ago...we figured out what that was. Kidney stone that I am now passing. Makes sense...given where the pain was but since that's also where the stimulator is I didn't make the connection. I actually thought I had a uti and went to the Dr. So turns out the back pain was not actually related to the DRG at all...which is a relief though kidney stones aren't any fun either.

Knees feel much better today and it's basically just the scrape that hurts now...that and the tender spot on my neck but that only is sore to the touch. So I'm on the mend and doing well. Still haven't heard from my employer yet but maybe this week.
