Getting rather anxious
I didn't think it would happen to me but I am getting anxious about having this procedure done on an outpatient basis. It is scheduled for 1:00 PM which means that by the time they are done and observed me for a while, it will be the end of the work day and I will be sent on my merry way and I have no idea what I am supposed to do for post op pain mgt. My current meds will not do the job for the first night and the next few days. I am not concerned about the incissions in the upper lumbar and thoracic area for running the leads. I am concerned about the implantation of the device in my butt. That one is going to be rough. I hate having to have it done 2 hrs away from home and my pain doctor. There isn't anyone skilled enough in this town to deal with my heavy metal back. LOL!!! I will see my pain doc on the 11th and discuss these concerns with him. I am certain we can come up with a battle plan. Boy, this better work.
