Hooray Eliza I'm so happy for you that you finally have it in after all the waiting you've been through!! That's great too that you're not in too much pain! Hopefully a programming session with your rep can get it to more areas too.

I keep my remote with me at all times. Usually in my pocket as a big ol' bulge (really, why can't they make them thinner?) That way I don't have to worry about losing it. I panic if it gets under a blanket and I can't find it for just a couple minutes though!
