I will also be having my SCS trial in a couple of weeks on Nob. 30. Unfortunately, I was supposed to already have had twice in the past month or so but it was first postponed because of insurance not clear on psych evaluation procedures. Then I was supposed to have it this past Thursday but the center had a surprise Medicare audit that day and they didn't feel they would be able to give me the appropriate time and attention. They could not have been more apologetic or sympathetic so although it was emotionally stressful because both times were cancelled at the last minute they have gone above and beyond to try and make it up to me. So, I will be having my 7-day Medtronic trial on Friday, November 30th (they reassured me it will definitely happen) for RSD pain in my right ankle. I have been told I will be sedated and the doctor has explained what he will do. Reading the comments I hadn't thought of getting a grabber to help with unexpected items but will definitely check that out. I've now how two trial runs for prepping and I come up with more things to do each time to help. Wishing you great success with your trial, Colleen!
