I spoke with the nurse at my Dr's office today and she said that I will be sedated but woken up to test it, will be able to drive but not with the scs on, and it will probably be more like a wk. long trial. I'm still nervous but looking forward to the chance of relief. I also asked about going back into pt because my hand is beginning to look like a claw and they will give me the prescription when I come in. Hopefully the weather holds it together so nothing gets delayed. It has been one storm after another here in NJ.
