Star Trek technology sounds fun. Amazing even.
Heck I want a few of them in my house.
But the body implants are ruining my life. Or saving it. Which ever you prefer to think.
They managed to poke so many things in my flesh til it’s hard to shower and sleep in the position I like.
I’m managing, barely. The day to day care of these implants is time consuming.
Of course I rely on the insulin pump for my very existence. I can do injections if needed. My injection quadrants are all compromised to some degree from years of manually injecting. So I prefer not to.
Now.
Doctor wants me have a hockey puck sized thing implanted in my tummy.
Pain pump. It will provide me pain relief with less drugs. Apparently.
I’ve moved up(heh) to having severe lower back pain and the ever present stomach crampies during dialysis. Of late I’ve been getting pain shots every time. The pain exhausts you. Then loopy from an opioid all afternoon kinda messes with my life. So the pump makes sense, I guess.
I don’t know what to do.
(I wouldn’t mind looking like Seven of Nine, tho’)
