Bones

Itโ€™s the little things… like being able to wash your own hair. So, after a good visit from the in-home nurse this morning, I was very excited to move on to โ€œshower day.โ€ The ladies out there will understand ๐Ÿ™‚

After lunch, it was time to take the Spinalogic Bone Growth Stimulator for a test drive. Dr. Shasti wanted me to start using this cool little device (that looks like a mini steering wheel) asap after being released from the hospital.

The device is designed to create a magnetic field (around the area where I had surgery) that stimulates my bones to heal.

Dr. Shasti wants my bones as strong as possible before I start radiation and chemo. The treatments that attack the cancer cells will also weaken my bone cells.
