Looks like I’ll have go in for another battery replacement as I’ve found out yesterday that the DBS implant in my right chest plate is dead. My condition has been getting progressively worse, I believe, for the last two weeks. I’ve an appointment on Tuesday for a scheduled adjustment, so I’ll wait until then. It’s not something like a pacemaker anyway.
We’ve planned two trips in July and August, one of them will be for over a week. So it’s good that it died now while I’m home. It was due anyhow.
UPDATE: It was a false alarm. It was the battery of the controller that was weak; as for my condition, I’ve no idea. Instead of surgery, I had a setting adjustment: pulse width was lowered even more.
