Default First appt. with rep., post surgery...advice??

I've been keeping a diary as Jackie suggested and will take that to my first post-surgery appt. with my rep. tomorrow. Is there any advice/suggestions you have as to how to make the best out of the appt.?

I wrote down where I still hurt, but not sure if that's imp. right now since I'm only 3 weeks post-surgery and was told things would change over next 2-3 months. So, not sure just what all to tell him or how much time to make him spend with me in order to try to find the "perfect" settings on my remotes at this point.

I am finding that I'm having to recharge my lumbar remote every 3 days, for about one hour, but my cervical remote lasts about twice as long. Was told to expect that.

Nausea is a little better and have been off all pain meds. for 5 days now (one dancing for every day) I still think the nausea is neck-related but hopefully will get some answers tomorrow.

Jackie: Good luck at your appt. tomorrow...happy "tweaking"
