A stimulating experience

On Friday I asked PT Shelley Hack if I should be getting electro-stim at the end of our sessions. We had actually tried it on my 2nd visit, but it didn't seem to work. We cranked up the machine to 30, but the little electrode pads kept falling off and even with them on there I never felt anything. So we decided to try again. This time we cranked it up to 50 and I finally felt something (most people use a setting around 15). We're not sure why we had to turn it up so high. I'm guessing it has something to do with the fact that that part of my foot is partly numb from swelling and surgical nerve damage. Of course, if people want to think that I have an unusually high pain threshold, that's fine with me. Like the spinning instructor (Justin Maguire, Pro Club) who kept saying I was "hard core"....
