I feel like jumping up and down for JOY!
Thanks to all; for your stories allowed me to make my decision going forward with this trial.

About sleep- you asked and I responded in a Private Message, you can access it readily by scrolling to the upper right hand corner of the Neurotalk screen where you will see your login name, your stats, and a little blue hyperlink to your Private Messages. Click on it and you will be zoomed to the message window where you may safely select to open the message I sent in reply to your questions about sleep and sitting.
Now, for something not covered in that Private Message, but needful just now that I read your forum post about "jumping up and down." DON'T! Feel the temptation, experience the joy, and revel in the relief. Remember BLAST.
Jumping definitely involves Stretching, the S of BLAST, so no Bending, Lifting Stretching, Twisting.....seriously. OK?
Now, lay on your side if that works, put a pillow between your knees and slip off to slumber safely.... then tomorrow after arising, relax knowing it will be OK to recline gently against fluffy pillows for ease while you enjoy. Then as the week progresses, walk and such carefully to see how the "test drive" of your SCS fits your needs.
Prayin all will be well for sure,
Yup
