Covid may be messing with my DRG Trial

Hi again Lori. Hope your having good luck with the drg today. Just to say, regarding Linda and the use of technology, I think that would be a hurdle to her doing it. She has serious technophobia. Its as much physical as psychological. She is really uncoordinated with anything mechanical and she is also uncoordinated with the use of technology, which when you think about it shares some traits with mechanics. I remember when we tried a tens unit on her. Besides the fact that it didn't work very well, there was just the simple aspect of actually operating it. She did not want to do it so I did it for her. I guess she would have done it herself if it did work and it was the only way she was going to get relief. But she really hates that stuff. So that would be one major hurdle for sure. OK, gotta go fix dinner now. Hank

@jesfactsmon Hi Hank, I do understand about Linda. I had to get over huge techno phobia when I was a teacher, or get fired. I became a totally self taught computer person, and my skills lagged behind younger teachers. However, I did it. As far as Linda, the gadget I use now, is literally, pushing buttons. Nothing else. Picture a grid. Left foot, right foot. Then, areas of the foot that hurt, listed below each of the feet. For me, it becomes left foot, right foot, balls of feet, toes. Four areas to the grid. Push button for right foot. Push button to amp up electricity to the toes or balls of feet, or lower it down. Same with left foot. If I do this thing, I hear that the real foot ipad is even easier. Linda could meet with the ABBOTT person AHEAD of time, before she does anything, and see if she can get past herself with being able to use the Foot Ipads. For this to stop her would be a travesty to her life. If this machine really helped her, she would have life again!!!! Hope this helps! Lori
