Rae, you hadn't lost me, I'd lost you! Changed jobs and couldn't find the link again!

Mark, thanks for the kind words.

My SCS is for RSD in my right hand and wrist so the paddle is right at the top of my back - sorry, don't know all the terminology! I guess that's why they put the battery pack in my rib cage, as it was nearer than my butt, so less wiring to do. This means that until they open up the battery pocket, they won't know if there's sufficient spare wire to be able to move the battery. If not, they'll have to go back into the paddle site to re-wire, which wouldn't be a great option.

I guess it'll be a case of waking up and finding out what's happened whilst I've been out of it!

Watch this space!!!
