I went to my doctor's appointment today, and everything went well. Nothing to worry about with my incisions, the swelling has finally gone down more, and no signs of infection. They look pretty gruesome, especially the one that has been opened up 3 times, but it's only been a week. And I can shower now!

My rep showed me how the leads look on the computer program for this device while she was programming, and it's really cool to see how much more technologically advanced it is. Boston Scientific is actually running out of inventory of these, though, so they're not pushing them for all patients right now.

I had to charge my new remote this morning, since this one doesn't run on batteries, but I was happy to see that it only took about 20 minutes to go from one bar to completely charged. I still haven't had to charge my new unit yet. Not in any hurry to do it, but I am curious to see if it really does charge faster and hold the charge longer.

Smile Hi Yellow!

Sounds like things are coming right along! You've certainly got the 'cadillac' of remotes!
I'm glad you're doing well.
It'll be interesting to see what they find out about your old unit!
