I'm curious, how did you find the surgery? Did it work well?
I’m still in the “ramp up” period, so I’m not getting the full effect yet. I need to get used to having my tongue muscle electrically stimulated, with increasing intensity, forcing me to stick my tongue out. It’s a very odd sensation at first. And it’s been rough going, not gonna lie. But I think with some timing adjustments it will do its thing. I have only heard good things from everyone else who has done it, so I’m honestly not concerned at this point. Also, I am a cyborg now, and I have my own remote control, so that’s freakin’ sweet!
Do you charge it with a magnetic charger like a Fitbit watch?
Nay. The battery is good for something like 15 years.
