While I was explaining the neurostimulator to someone today, I did a Google search for a few images and here's what I came up with:
This is what my back looks like under the skin, except mine deviates to the right. So, the leads themselves are not visible, as they were injected into the epidural space.
This is what my neurostimulator looks like. The leads are visible here (they are the thin wires after that connector piece).
On Wednesday (an exact week after surgery), I was allowed to remove the bandages. Of course, the first thing I did was press on the bump underneath my skin, which made the neurostimulator move! It felt odd at first.
