I finally got looking at the TENS units. There seems to be different types of units.
Are these the type you all use?

You definetly want the TENS/EMS unit as one is for deeper muscle therapy. I use https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B011J79PNK/?tag=exoticpetnetw-20

WAAAAY to expensive!! Wow!
Should be well under 50 bucks! A TENS 7000 model is all you can use...multiple channels, good & solid. I like the hard case it comes in too. I think I paid 27 bucks a few years ago.

I'm kinda surprised that you are just looking at them Ray. The PT folks usually turn guys onto these things.
OH, and guess what....the "power dials" cleverly concealed under the plastic cover are under the cover for a reason, you can drop it in the open position and have that dial spun to 18 gazillion joules before it slides down your leg on the waterbed!
A little turning=big increase in intensity....be slow and gentle with your body....
Ever see a 185lb cat leap out of it's skin? My guess is it looked something similar, cept a lot older & slower.

Here’s a good 4 page guide to Sparrow Identification
Good morning all. I found a lot of toadstools in my garden.
Oh my garsh
the good Lord knows I have plenty of those. They are the ones that figured out how to still plant aplenty of seed on my front yard under the Crab Apple tree 
. I think they do it on purpose. Just to make everyone else cat and hawk bate. The other side would be they are just trying to share. I don't believe that for a second 
I'm sure the campark managed to capture at least something.I had 5 little visitors today under the feeders.(thanks to the sparrows). I grabbed my phone and snapped a bunch. Here's another bad photo. View attachment 353936
hopefully.
Nope it didn't because it's not where it should be but at least I got to see 5 doves and even got a few bad pictures in my front yard today. So coolI'm sure the campark managed to capture at least something.
Members here gave me heads up on them over a year ago. I forget about the discussion and the other day I had a fleeting thought about the units. Decided to investigate or it might be another year. I don't know if my memory is failing from head injury from the accident. Which seems to be when my memory started going downhill. Or it's just the progression of life.
Has everyone primarily used the TENS on your back or different areas of where your body hurt?

BINGO......!
Yeah, I think it's just natural progression too. (Says the way-too concussed-LOL) I do notice it though and of course it's concerning anytime we notice the slightest drop in our own performance. I stopped being able to name everyone in my 1st grade class around 55 or so and a couple other things since then. Apparently, my brain insets "Kerry" into my history of places I went and things I did with other girls, so that I remember her with me at those places, when she wasn't. Just love, that's all!
Those TENS units....we go them 7 -8 yrs ago. Reference I have 15 or so scopes/couple acls on the left knee, 40 yrs of damage to the right wrist. It did provide relief for my knee when I first got it. They are very easy to set up, no rocket science required. You can do 2 areas at the same time and they are stronger than they need to be. If you use it, it will benefit, ......never tried it for the wrist. That's the point, for me...and just for me, it doesn't do enough, or I don't hurt enough to make me use it....take that as an overall observation. Kerry has hip issues, especially after a long weekend and (I'm teasing) I got her one and she used it at first...she doesn't use it now but once in a blue moon.
Y has YARD Gnomes! Yay Y....I love 'em! I tried already......but it didn't fly, the first time<LOL>.....I think we can have one at the turtle pond when it goes in.....and I can work with that.
LMAO...I just got a text, from the lady I was supposed to meet in North Carolina after Christmas and didn't even show!!!...wow, audacity, right? She wants to know if I'm still looking for a shed.... speaking of which, I found 10- 39foot bundles of unfaced insulation in my attic, TEN! There are 15 runs between the joists on 20' shed, I have enough to do the entire roof....plus some! I won't respond to the lady. LOL

I've use my on my back and my shoulders.
Patience is a virtue, Cathie. I've every faith in you!And well... the photo hobby. I actually just need an SD card viewer with dual SD card slots. One to view and delete or move to the other to write and save. Then I'll be able to get the good stuff through my little flash device to my phone and share oh my garsh. This is getting ridiculous but it'll work

You are doing waaay better than I would. I'm a bit impulsive to begin with....once pointed in a direction, it becomes a quest. I would be going crazy....having ordered it for twice the price just to get it into my hands. LOL
I can tell an Adult, when I see one! LOL
Saw a bad accident at 4am on Rt 301N, at Rips(Mark knows it).....somehow the Tractor trailer ended up pointing South, in the median....and 20yds from him was what was left of a Honda civic or similar also in the median. Rt 301N was closed. Since there was no traffic and no ambulances, I figured it was safe to look....I generally don't want to see the results of an accident. Hope everyone survived, but physics plays a large role in those kinds of accidents. Size really matters. Even riding bikes for decades, I didn't appreciate that until my 6,000lb Expedition was swatted like a fly by a Dump truck.....I would not have believed that feeling possible, till I felt it. Those catlike reflexes then, let me type this now instead of being his speed bump then! That was a fun sentence....(it doesn't much to amuse me). LOL
Speaking of catlike reflexes....going to a highly recommended chiropractor this week, taking thur off to do it as he's in Dover DE. I'm hoping for a miracle where he will say..."ah yeah jeff, we just need to move this and that & presto, you're golden again"
Kinda don't think that's gonna happen but if you don't set the bar high, you are giving up too early, right?
Ms Cathie reminds me of one of my sisters on Christmas morning as I stood longingly at my new "Remote controlled" car whose new plain D cells that were worn out in the metal handheld controller by 9AM.......... "you can get new batteries when you go grocery shopping next Friday with Dad". It was the most blasphemous thing I had ever heard & that 60 years later I'm retelling it, lets you know how truly devastating it was for me as a young child.
Like many young fathers, I took steps to prevent that moment from ever occurring again when my kids came along! Mainly because they got cool toys, much cooler than we ever got....so Daddy needed to play too...and we weren't running out of batteries! LOL
enjoy the day....thinking it's getting close to 50-55F here today......

I guess I have to admit it. I'm an old fogey, an antique, a fossil.
I watched the Grammys last night and the terrible screeching sounds they referred to as music was offensive to me. I don't get it.

Pads. Just some fresh cactus pads for our Sully.
I agree!
