A Huge Relief on the Health Front!
My Interstim Implant has NOT moved. Not at all! Here's the scoop:
I was able to get in to see my doctor's nurse today. We confabbed with my Seattle doc via phone. They had me dial my unit waaaaaayy up. I was pretty skittish about this maneuver - when my first implant moved in December, I did that very thing and ended up getting the stuffing shocked out of me when I bent over. However, this time when I went way up, I finally started feeling the shock at just the right level in just the right place. The implant had not moved at all. Instead, it appears as if I had some post operative swelling/edema that finally subsided this week. The swelling reduction probably resulted in a little extra room between the implant lead and the sacral nerve. So I just needed additional juice to hit the nerve.
I am so happy - I won't need yet another surgery after all. Whew! I can continue on with the business of recovery. Yea!
