I don't remember where the surgeon said he placed the paddle. Seems like he said T7-8 or something. I'm sure I put it in a post here somewhere. I'll have to look around.

Things are not any better and actually, I thought the infection was getting better....and maybe it is, maybe it's something else entirely. The site of the infection is somewhat better, but it seems like I'm feeling my clothes catch on something. Since there were no stitches on the outside, I have not a clue what it would be.

Also, my battery site is completely closed up, but one end of the incision is really painful. It seems like I can feel every edge of that darn battery! This is so frustrating. I'm headed back to the doctor tomorrow for the follow up to the infection visit. This is the surgeon, not the pain doc, so I'll go across the hall and set an appointment up for the pain doc and the rep.
So much work for this contraption that has barely been used!

I really appreciate everyone's suggestions. I do keep the stimulation low, but even the slightest buzz begins to create this queasiness...
I haven't fallen, but have done a couple of things without really stopping to think...just a reaction to a situation that one normally doesn't stop to think about...and get lots of shooting pain in my upper back. Maybe I'll see if the doc will X-ray tomorrow.

Thanks again...I'll try to post back after my appt tomorrow.

Found the post...he placed it at T8-T9
