Hi everyone
Just got back from my review with my Consultant. He was very impressed with my incision sites and say although I do still have some swelling and bruising at the leads incision it is still early days(4 weeks) Im very impatient ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() He said that I have to be very careful with the IPG as its so close to the surface. After having plasters on for the past few weeks, I felt ok about it, but today he took them all off and told me I dont need them now ![]() So overall I was pleased with my visit. He told me that Im at the clinic next Thurs 9th Sept for my programming. And that I can have up to 20 programmes depending on how I feel when the rep is doing them. Also he told me that every 4/6 weeks the reps come over from Great Britain for a clinic and each time that occurs I will be sent an invite to that clinic. Then its up to me whether I want my stim tweaked again or not. So I could effectively see my rep every 4/6 weeks. Im sure I wont need to but its also good to know that they are there if and when I might need them. So good news all around ![]() Jackie ![]() |

Awesome! So happy for you!
I haven't driven since March because of all of my medical issues/pain. I miss it SO much!

SO GLAD for YOU! That is both a great review and word of caution. Goodness, I did not drive for 6 weeks, being mindful of the stuff of surgery and the like. Since driving had been pretty much a gone thing for the two years prior to that, once liberated I did feel a certain sense of freedom!
Blessings on you! Mark56 ![]() |

Jackie, do be careful that since they put some American technology into you that you do not wind up driving on the "other side" of the road!
