Visit with Medtronics 6 December 2017
Visit with Natalie from Medtronics at Hurstville Private Hospital 6 December 2017
Met with Natalie to review progress with device since surgery. I told her I had spent the time in severe pain and was unable to get down past 6.5 most of the time and spent most of my time on 7 and higher. She had been critical of this in the past; however I showed her the 6 Dec CT scans showing the fractured vertebrae and she acquiesced to me using a higher voltage, commenting that I would use a lot of power. I told her I charged twice a day.
On William’s prompting (he is impatient; I would have brought it up later) she wrote 2 programs for me to try using a point higher on the leads. I am to use each for 4 days and text her with my view on the result.
On seeing the CT scans, she said that Dr Tim Steel of St Vincent’s Private might help. He specialises in surgery on the spine and does cages around affected vertebrae. He may be worth a visit.
