I can has spinal neural stimulator?

Post by bio » Thu Oct 15, 2009 5:26 pm

It's day 4 of my 5 day trial of the spinal neural simulator and I've got to say that I like it!

The pain in my feet and legs are almost completely gone and my back pain is incredibly low compared to what it was! Sadly, they're taking it out tomorrow (it's not safe to have wires going into your spinal cord that are exposed to the outside world for long).

With luck, I'll be able to get in to have the permanent version installed in the not too distant future. Unfortunately, it's considered an elective surgery (I have no idea why) so it's hard to book a surgeon (they tend to do the non-elective surgeries first).

Oh... and how the hell is everyone? Long time no see (yes.. I'm a bad person)

Glad to hear it worked well for you. As you said, hopefully you can find someone to permanently modify your biological parts. :)

Would be great to see you out and about more. Maybe even riding again??

Per lifetime eh?? So we just need to get you an extra lifetime or two and you're set.

A little Cat DNA ought to do it....

Not only will that grant me a few extra lifetimes, it'll make my back so flexible that I can lick my own butt!
