After a couple of relatively settled days, tomorrow I return to St Thomas’ for an outpatient appointment. This time I have some idea what to expect – another dressing change, meeting with CNS and doctor. The doctor called me yesterday to touch base and check how the weekend had been, asking the usual “on a scale of 1 – 10, how was your pain before the trial and now”; as a nurse I always queried the worth of a pain score done this way and now I question it even more, A debate for another day!
Tomorrow a decision will be made regarding proceeding to the full implant or ending the trial and removing the electrodes. I keep asking myself if there could be anything that will show up on my stimulator trace that would prevent the procedure from going ahead. Could i jinx it? I am nervous now as so much is riding on this……………………

Fingers crossed its worked, there know by the assessment that’s done and the reading that’s got from the gizzmo (what i called my stimulation box). You have to be frank with them, how it really has been. Do you think it has worked for you? Hope it has.
