Tonight my wife said something about wondering how much time she'll need to take...will I need someone here w/me for that first week or so? Just how much does this put a guy down? I'm quite young for this procedure - I understand most folks are 60's or so and I am about 10 years younger than that...hoping that'll work in my favor.
Cannot stress enough the importance of the leads getting scared in the placement they were originally placed. By doing things and/or twising, you may cause the lead to move and scar in a positon it was not meant to be. That can cause a world of problems. Not worth the stretching, etc.. Get a
grabber so you don't have to reach high for things.

Other than your doctor, Mark is the closest thing to an authority of what to
do and what not to do.
