I feel much better after reprogramming. I am actually able to play with them. I have a paddle lead Saffy. Yes, mines up and I get twitches too lol. Anyway, we shall see if a good night's sleep is in my future.
Here's an issue I don't know if any of y'all experience it, but I live in a rural town 50 miles north of Dallas. So each dr. Appt and program appt is a 50 mile drive. Drives are excruciating right now, so the less, the better!! TK |

The long trip in to see all of your doctors is a real hassel. A 100 mile round trip doesn't sound like much to a healthy person but is troublesome if you are dealing with pain......even if someone drives you. That's why I moved into town, across from the our Regional Medical Center. Hopefully, once you get through the initial set up and the body settles down, you won't need to see the doctor much. Hang in there as it sounds like you are off to a good start. Best wishes.

Glad you got this straightened out, it's no fun to be zapped! I had a similar issue a few weeks ago. Luckily we found out when my rep pulled it up on the screen that a piece of scar tissue had broken loose and wedged in the space, causing the problems, which was easily to fix just by adjusting the programs to not include that spot on that lead. And I had mine put in in November with my leads moved in January, so I was bending!
![]() I hear you on the long drive to the doctor's office too. Mine is about a 45 mile drive each way. Definitely not fun when you're sore from surgery! |

Pooh has long drives as well... all of the way from Nowhere to Somewhere, NE and it is not fun for her. I feel for you all with long drives to the doc or to the rep, may you ultimately be sufficiently tweaked that the drives are LESS part of your lives.
Yup, Mark56 ![]() |
