This is bizarre that the leads were not sufficiently secured to prevent shifting during the Trial. Gee Whiz, if doc takes the goll darn things out now you will never know whether it would work or not. It is as though sloppiness on professional parts have left you wondering..........

Seems to me they should place you back in the OR and re-secure the leads on proper position then tape the h e q q out of your back to prevent movement of the wires...... Yeah, I know it means trying again, but striking while the iron is hot is what gets things accomplished and provides you a recent evaluation. You can IN NO WAY MAKE A REASONABLY WELL INFORMED CONSENT TO IMPLANT DECISION on the basis of this faux pas.

I would DEMAND to have it done properly so I could evaluate it, rather than be told make a decision based upon what you now know, which is absolutely nothing.

Further, watch for infection as Trial nears end..... I had a whopper of infection with all of this leaky pus which, while wearing a red polo shirt, made people think I was bleeding out. What a soaker..... so I had to overcome the infection. The D A M insurance company did not want to pay for biotics because it could have been a fraud attempt to treat a sinus infection. B S and that is that. So, I paid for the ding dang antibiotic and the insurance had to cut a check to me for their B S. I am certain their B S was oh so much more efficient than the possibility of having a patient try to squeeze a sinus infection treatment in on a work comp case. I shoulda just let the infection go as long as they refused to pay for the med, then they could have paid for my hospitalization for runaway sepsis of the spinal cord..... or something worse. So James is right about keeping a weather eye on infection of any sort around where the Trial leads enter your back.

I am prayin you get this sorted out.
