Default Revision - What to expect?

I am going for an unexpected revision tomorrow. I went in Tuesday because the incision where my leads are anchored was bothering me. It basically looked like a big red bllister. Anyway, my pain doc says one of my leads has a kink in it. Best case scenario, they just open the one incision, straighten it out, reanchor deeper and close up. If there isn't enough slack, they will have to reopen both incisions and completely redo the leads. I am more anxious now than I was for the original surgery because I don't know what to expect.... Anyone been through somethink like this? I have only had my SCS since September and rarely turn it off. I don't think I can live without it at this point. My neck, shoulder, arm and back pain are so much improved with it.
