I called my urologist's nurse yesterday morning because the spots where they put the wires had booked enough to completely saturate the bandage covering them. She was surprised, but because of my liver disease, my blood doesn't clot very well so I tend to bleed a lot. Then last night, I found that the take holding the wires in place has completely peeled off, so I had to go in first thing this morning and she retaped it. I think it was because of all the blood around there that it came loose, which is apparently not usually a problem.
I'm going in tomorrow morning to get the leads removed. It's helped some with the pain and urgency issues I have, so I think it'll be worth having the real unit implanted, but I don't know that it's going to be a magic bullet that will cure my incontinence.
One thing that the nurse pointed out is that the test lead are out in by feel, but the real ones are put in with X-ray guidance so they're more accurately placed. My test leads seem to be moving around a bit (especially since they came untaped) so the real ones may work a bit better.
In any case, I'll take anything that helps with the pain. I'll even put up with the incontinence if I can just not hurt so much.
