So, it seems that I am healing because I get a sharp pulling sensation (like pulling against stitches) moreso today with less movement. I am taking that as a good sign.

My bowels moved and urination is better sobthat's a relief!

I took the proscribed muscle relaxants today because I had some minor spasms. They are making me a little loopy.

Today feels like a minor step backwards but yesterday was so good that it doesn't surprise me.

My next decision is when to first turn on my stimulator. The Dr and Medtronic rep said to wait 3-4 days but didn't give me any guidance on how to decide when. Any suggestions?
