This is the Bluetooth device used to control the electrical stimulation that is hooked up to my nervous system.
Today I woke up not feeling so bad, but now as the day has worn on I'm feeling quite a bit of pain in my back where the battery pack has been placed into my body. My foot and leg feel fine, unless I stretch or twist my leg and then it can be a little jarring because sometimes it feels like an electric shock. It's not any worse than the normal pain without the stimulator, but it can be startling.
The image above is from the screen of an iPhone (I'm not sure why it says 'iPod' up in the left corner) made specifically for this setup that connects to my stimulator/battery pack using Bluetooth technology. I was told not to mess with it, but it was a little too strong and I could feel the electric current running down my leg and into my foot so I lowered the 'foot' setting. I'm much more comfortable now.
I didn't want to take the hydrocodone today, but the pain from the procedure was too much and I decided to take my first of three that I was prescribed daily. I don't want to take them all still because I'm certain they will be the currency of the future or was that bottle caps?
I wanted to show off my stitches, but they are fully covered and my waist is wrapped in a giant Ace-like bandage. I feel like I'm wearing a girdle.
