@jesfactsmon They installed the device on June 29th. I have to wait two weeks for the places on legs to heal before sticking the device pod on my calves. The device pods stick to my legs like tape and only last for a few days. That way you can clean the spot underneath the device pods. So, I have another week before they turn the devices on.
The forgot to tell me that after the surgery my legs would hurt a lot for the next three days. I had to use my chronic pain medication since they didn't prescribe me any acute pain medicine.
Strange thing happened. They woke me up during the surgery to ask me questions about my left leg. Then they said "put him back out" and back to sleep I went. Never had that happen before.
Hopefully, late next week I can provide a more useful update.

Fred thanks for the update, I was wondering how things were going for you. Got my fingers crossed for you that it works after they turn it on and you start to get some welcome relief. Your comment is very troubling that they "forgot" to tell you about the pain you would experience after the operation and did not prescribe any pain meds or even discuss this with you. I would suggest that you proactively discuss this fact with the doctor, it sounds like a big communication breakdown on their part. Wishing you well my friend, Hank
