He injured himself many times during that period,
and it affected him severely as he grew older.
He mentioned the stimulator more than once, during his annual telethons (for Muscular Dystrophy.... or Cerebral Palsy- I forget which).

Yeah, he uses the Medtronic device. He said: "it saved my life"
I believe him.
I have sciatica (for years), degenerative joint disease, diabetes, I'm 63, and I just got my new shoes from the podiatrist. insurance paid for them.
I get a free pair once a year. I try and pick out ones that are wide enough in the toebox.
They are from Dr. Comfort.
I walked the 22 blocks to Shoprite wearing these AWFUL shoes. I usually wear my OTHER Dr. Comfort shoes which give me no problems and I could walk all day in them.
But not these.
I could barely limp around the supermarket. Once I finished shopping, I went out, found a local 99 cents store and bought a pair of sandals for $3.99
HEAVEN!!
I cannot believe that I have these awful Dr. Comfort shoes.
I am going to bring them back to my podiatrist and tell him what happened. I'll never wear them again.
ugh.
