I was curious so I looked up the inspire website… this has got to be the best accidentally hilarious medical video I have ever seen:

Who directed this monstrosity!?

I only made it to the 0:28 mark. That may have been the worst “acting” I have ever seen.

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.

If you’re beginning to struggle with joints, get on the PT, MRI route while it’s free.
