it's electric

we're heading back to Charlotte early

tomorrow for another post-op appointment

3 months after Gracie's last surgery.

we believe this will be the day when

we're told she no longer need the nasal stents.

PLEASE!!!!

she's been such a trooper,

but I think we're all quite ready to

be done with that aspect of her recovery!

she'll also be having the second in  a series

of treatments called microcurrent 

therapy for her scar.

what is that, you ask?

instead of pitifully limping through

my limited-knowledge explanation,

I'll share what what we've found  

in our research... 

Microcurrent is a novel therapy that utilizes extremely low-level electrical currents (microcurrents) to treat nerve and muscle pain, inflammation, and other health challenges.  Each tissue in your body has its own signature electrical frequency, which may be disrupted by injury or disease.  Microcurrent therapy simply restores normal frequencies within the cells, resulting in remarkable improvements in pain, inflammation, and function.

Microcurrent treatment is also used on scarring. The electrical impulses when applied to scar tissue can change the color, texture and fabric of the scar reducing its appearance and also lessening any sensitivity in the area. It works by promoting healing from within the cells that make up the scars. EA-MP technology can help with most scars though not all. The more healthy tissue around the scar the more likely it is to heal completely while larger scars with little healthy tissue may not heal as well.

how's that for exciting?

we like to live on the edge of

medical coolness around here.

here's miss sassy at her first session a month ago.

 other than feeling a little 

"tingly", she did great.

when I asked the nurse if it would work

on stretch marks and/or cellulite,

her nervous chuckle of

"hmmm, I don't know."

just sucked the air right out of that 

room, I tell ya.

oh well, it never hurts to ask.
