Thanks for all of the replies!

I think you are getting optimistic again. Or maybe it's that English beer you have been imbibing.

They are very helpful people here aren't they? I don't remember too much in the way of post op pain even though it was only done in June. I think the waterproof bandaging gave me more grief than anything else. No stitches or staples so I'm guessing I was glued back together.

Like everyone has told you follow the BLAST rules to the letter and you will give yourself the best chance of a successful result. One of my wires moved after 3 weeks and it wasn't pleasant. Fortunately the move was minor and they were able to reprogram the system to compensate and all went back to the norm.
