I've been asked about a dozen times already, what the hardware looked like before removal?? You'll see it below. The client went home already... almost a week before he had planned. We never expected him to be in shape to travel so early. He's still hurting from the surgery, but still better than pre-op. I hope he'll come post in a few days. AMAZING story!

All the best,

Mark

Note the spinal cord stimulator leads implanted in his t-spine. A control unit/battery pack is implanted in his rear-end and is very painful if he sits wrong or bumps into something. With any luck, he'll be able to get it removed in a few months.
