Long time no post

I've been very busy lately, so I haven't had the time to post. We moved at the end of last month, and we haven't been able to get settled yet. This house is in total disarray, and needs to be cleaned before we can unpack anything. Once that's done, we need to start fixing it up to make it more livable. We'll get there, but it's going to take some time. I feel bad because I'm not really able to help out. Darn this SCS!

That's not to say I'm not glad I have it. I certainly am. It has been helping a lot with my pain. That's a wonderful feeling. Although my back is still pretty painful, I'm glad that I had the operation done. I know there will be an end to this pain, which I didn't know with the RSD.

I started back at work part-time on Monday. I work for 3 hours a day from the office, and then I come home and usually put in a few more hours. I have been working 7-9 hours a day most of the week. I think I've been overdoing it so yesterday I just came home and relaxed. I think I'll be doing the same again today. I've been taking 800 mg of Aleve (Sodium Naproxen) every 4-6 hours for the pain. It doesn't seem to be helping too much so I know I need to slow down a bit.

I've been playing with the stimulator settings a little. Most of the programs are pretty comfortable for me. I don't think I need to have them adjusted at this point.

The Representative from the company warned me that when I move I might feel sudden increases and decreases of the stimulation. For a while I didn't notice these changes, but just recently I started feeling them as I sit or stand, turn my head, or move in other normal ways. This is not going to go away, so I'll have to get used to it. I have to admit it is somewhat annoying, but I'm sure it won't take me long until I barely notice it is happening.
