Question SCS Trial in 2 weeks YIKES!

I have RSD/CRPS is left hand and wrist after broken wrist & surgery this last Dec.
I have been on 6-7 meds. for this but I'm down 3-4 that actually work a little.
Intense P.T and now I've had a total of 9 stellate ganglion blocks.
Now, I'm scheduled for the SCS trial.
I have been keeping up with stories from several of you members who have been dealing with this with a variety of results.
I have so much respect and admiration for all of you - I don't know how you do it!!
NOW IT'S MY TURN AND I'M VERY AFRAID!!
I'm afraid of it causing an RSD spread, having it create back problems where there are none (yet). I'm afraid every wrong movement may cause the leads to move. I'm usually the care giver in the family and I'm finding it hard to think of all the help I'll need. I HATE FEELING LIKE A BURDEN!
This is trivial but I hate not being able to bathe or shower for 5 DAYS and how do you deal with that??
I know ultimately it is my own decision but PLEASE anyone willing to chime in and give their "2 cents" worth is much appreciated.
