So glad you are thru the worst of this. I can not say this strongly enough-THE MED. REP. is the KEY to your success with this. Is the Rep. scheduled to be at your follow up appt.? Mine came to EVERY appt. and reprogrammed me every time. I do not even use the initial programs. Pain changes and traveles all of the time. PLEASE get a good repoire with your REP. This is VITAL to the implant success! You are in my thoughts and prayers-Fondly-Carol
