I just finished charging, saw your post Lisa, and was thinking along Rae's lines as well.... that the pocket in which your unit sits may need some adjustment. No doubt you have a surgical follow up appointment in about two weeks, but if the darn thing is wiggling around and signal is difficult or impossible to establish with either the remote or the charger, then it is time to call the doc and ask for the appointment to be moved up due to a possible problem. Shouldn't be a difficult analysis or fix, but something sure seems amiss in your situation. Best to ask the questions than try to sleep at night fretting about what may be wrong.
Hope you get your questions addressed very soon,
