Gotta be thankful for the brace to help keep the lead from migrating to former path of uselessness. The incision pain will hopefully abate soon and with the walking and inhaler/inspirator you will avoid the pneumonia setting in! You did say inhaler, so I figure you have a prescribed medication inhaler, but hope you also have an inspirator which aids in practicing deep inhalation to prompt clearing of the lungs.

I was not issued an inspirator from the implant surgery as I was not "out" so long and so very deeply as I was for the recent fusion, BUT, with the fusion I was issued an inspirator. You know the kind, the stiff plastic tower with the flex tube through which one inhales to draw a meter up the scale to both count the ccs of air inhaled and markedly demonstrate progress at taking deep breaths. It helped me.

Prayin those walks and breathing do the trick for you TK while that SCS now properly working will scar appropriately and the incision heal up right nice for you,
Yup,
