That being said, the first rep I met, very nice girl and seemed to know what she was doing, I can't fault because she did the program directly after surgery,,,,,you can't get a good read at that point. Too much inflammation, not enough set to get a good read to do a good program.

Second programming was by the Doc's surgical PA who is an artist at this...amazing she's so good. She must have spent an hour trying to just get it a little bit better.

Now I see my local (st louis) Rep next week. Now she's never done this before but sounds enthusiastic and is going to set a new group for me rather than change this program.

I see the "artist"in Cleveland in Mid March and I am going to have her set yet another group, so I'll have three programs and I'm hoping that will get me going, so once I get the ok on everything scarring I'll be able to start some mild exercise,

So,,the medtronic Reps I've dealt with have been top notch. Will they work with another machine,,,I'm inclined to say no but if you are really desperate I will give you the CS number and my Rep's number as long as it's off this forum and on private messages,,, and I will pass my local girl's number once I get it,,,,your call.

So sorry you are not getting the support you deserve with this kind of machinery. How can WE do anything with this with out help???
Makes no sense,,,,

Besides that healing ok, my right arm still hurts from overdoing it when I first came home (laundry) and then the first battery charge didn't help so it's still sore,,,other than that,,,tired, real tired, but I can manage. I have pets not kids.

It's managing the pain ok,,wish it was a little better, I seem to turn it up higher at night because it really helps at a higher level but it has a tendency to pull my muscles in odd ways, which are ok at night, I mean my eye is closed anyway at night!! so that's what I'm doing until I see this new rep (who I will ask off the record about this issue) or until I go back to Cleveland and have my bump removed as best as possible....

Let's put it this way,,,it has got to be better,,,my son woke up the other morning and texted my husband "well it must be working,,,she just yelled at the dog and threatened to kill him" life is returning to somewhat normal........
