Default Another tweaking sessions coming up!!

Well its been four weeks since I was last reprogrammed. Im ok with most of it, but sometimes I feel.....oh wish I could just turn it on there! or here, or this side etc. well out of the blue I got a phone call today from the Pain Management Clinic. They are inviting me to another reprogramming session on Thursday YAY!!! initially I was...oh wonder if its a bit too early as Im only a month since it was last reprogrammed, but then I rang the clinic. The secretary told me that my Pain Consultant was on to her and asked her to call me to come in. He is anxious that I have it tweaked as much as I need it. So that changed my mindand I have decided , hey yes book me in. So Im going there on Thursday at 12pm. This time I get the female rep. She was with me during the trial period. I really gelled with her, now thats not to say that I didnt with the guy who was with me for the permanent implantation, but I just felt something gel with us girls So she will be there on Thurs, it will be interesting to see how she 'tweaks' it. She did email me before, after surgery, to say that I can have different programmes for different activities, eg, walking, sitting, lying down, etc....and she also gave me different stimulation feelings when I had the trial, which I dont have now from the male rep with the permanent one. I just have 2 sensations! Im wondering if perhaps she might be able to use just one lead, like isolate one leg, at different stages? anyone know anything bout that one? As Ive two leads do they always have to work in tandem? just a thought. Because sometimes I feel it maybe stronger in my right leg, depending on which way Im sitting/lying down. At times I feel gosh if I could just turn off the right leg for nowjust a thought. Maybe some of you guys might know!
So Im really looking forward to Thursday now. Im hoping that maybe she might be able to help my back a bit more. Im just back from some retail therapy with my daughterbut boy am I wrecked. The pain in my back was unbearable and also I had to turn the stim up, hence worse pain from the stim....thought I would never get home tbh. So thats a bit of a negative for me. Legs......fine though......I will fill you all in on how I get on ok!
