Hi Doc -- sorry it took so long to reply. They actually told me to RESTRICT a whole lot of my activities during the TRIAL, because they were afraid the leads would move --- I was given a laundry list of things I could NOT do. It basically had me sitting around most of the day, which didn't make alot of sense to me but I did what they told me.

Then when I got the implant, I found that there was NASTY pain just doing minimal things around the house, let alone trying to go back to work! And this was after the healing period too! So I think I got an "idiot" from MedTronic who told me to restrict my activities during the trial. They always send a Rep from the company during the trial and the implant -- and they give you your "orders."

Oh well -- it was an experience! LOL Take care. Hugs, Lee
