Default Trial done

Trial was going well. Had some lead issues. Right now I have a program all the way up , but I am being reprogrammed tomorrow. We think a lead may have slipped. Anyway, it's great, and I hope it continues to work great, and I may be on my way to twins.

Heart Wondrous Trial results!

Yea TK!! Thrilled you could tell it was working even with a slipped [maybe] trial lead.

Prayin the reprogram goes well to develop good informed decision making capacity.

Yup!

So glad to know this!

It's quite a process isn't it. One step at a time (and plenty of patience! ) will get you there.

It's so easy for leads to slip during the trial, as they aren't anchored in real well (for easier removal after trial is complete I reckon), but the main thing is that it DID cover your pain and you are happy with the results!

Now is the wait to get your permanent. I hope you are well supplied with pain meds to keep you comfortable during this interim. The pain can come back full-force once they pull the leads from your trial.
Just continue reminding yourself that you are on your way to better pain management.

Reprogram was successful for the most part. Lead had definitely moved downward my rep had said. Getting some great relief now. Pretty positional but she warned me it would be. Not looking forward to the pull out on Wednesday. Hopefully won't have to wait too long between temp and permanent. Just glad it works!!
