Just ask KZLRogue, who used to frequent these parts. She has played golf and resumed karate a bit over a year post op. Life does move on..... BLAST is not a forever thing.

During Trial only a couple little sutures at the entry points hold the leads in position with the added benefit of LOTS of tape. Rrae used more just to make sure it was snug. After the implant surgery, you really should follow doc's instructions about movement restriction so as not to wind up with possible migrated leads [Remember Rrae, and Tchr012?] and allow leads or paddles, whatever is implanted to scar in well before too much is taken for granted.

Now, the only silly thing I am familiar with on these posts lately was my response to befuzzlement...... oh, and I do seem to recall being QUITE befuzzled when under the influence of the pain management meds.......

Yep,
