With the wires, like emily's gma said, just tuck them in and plus they are tapped up good with so extra length under the tape so if something does tug on the wires is shouldnt mess wit the placement! I had both the scs and pns one in my leg and had a st. bernard in the bed and she didnt bother it or tug on them at all. While up and moving around i wore those adias excersise pants , they are like nylon, like silky so they dont stick to my leg and stuck the wires down the leg of them so they woldnt hang out! Its not that bad at all... its chnaging the dressing with all the wires that is the pain, but once you do it once you get the hang of it !! The worst part of the trial was not showering and bending and lifting my hands over my head!! I had my trial in for 2 weeks and then went right in for the perm one. The surgery isnt that bad at all either. I have pics of what my back incision looks like and the wires comming out of it too if you want to see them.. they are that gross..lol Good luck with your surgery and let us know how it goes when you are up and around!! Fingers crossed this helps you alot!!

Go shopping or something to get your mind off everything and time will fly by and you will be home with no pain soon!!

Hugs!!
