As FATE would have it, the doc's office screwed up my follow-up appt to get the leads taken out and i ended up getting 2 extra days for the trial !!!

So, when you said:

I wonder if you can call your doctor’s office and ask about an extension of the trial. They only want to keep them in for a couple of days because of the risk of infection. Also, the longer you keep it in, the greater the risk if yanking the leads. But, if you have all sorts of weird feelings from the Fentanyl withdrawal, pain from the surgical trauma, and so on, how in the devil are you going to decide that the trial is really working? Maybe you could see if one or two more days would be possible. The trial removal is not a big-deal procedure. Mine was done by a PA as an office visit and took about 15 minutes....

you spoke that RIGHT into existence !! What a HOOT !
God is definitely in control !! AMEN BROTHER !!!

You all have me so fired up! I feel a reVIVAL comin on!!!
Plus, by day 5, I said to HECK with it and put my Fent patch back on and am feelin great! shhhh don't tell the doc because then he'd be like --> and then I'D BE LIKE ---> THEN the Medtronic Rep would be like ---> and of course the PM's assistant would be like

So Good God, just let Rae have her damn patch.

Thank you all and good night .....
