Completely forgot Thought Emporium had a flexNT video! Might show that one to my doctor as well as any surgeon I approach

read the guide
especially this part
Emailing or even calling a professional piercer you don’t already know has a very low chance of success. The reason for this is simple - they have no idea who you are, what you’re asking them to do, or if it’s even remotely safe. You’re basically asking them to put their entire business and career at risk to do a one-time installation for you, a complete stranger… nobody is likely to agree to that. To have any decent chance of success, you’re going to have to put on your shoes and go outside.

Yeah I’ve realized now it might not’ve been the best option 
my only issue was still having to travel a bit if I were to go in office, Thankfully work tomorrow puts me within minutes of both so when I get off I’m going to head down there and see.

Got an appointment setup with a plastic surgeon this Thursday to talk with him about it 
seems very open to the idea the front desk woman said it’d mainly be to check for spacing? and stuff of the sort

Day 10
Stitches came out on day 9, everything is coming together nicely, a little more red than I’d like but it’s getting better every day.
The read distance is incredible, almost as good as my actual key card.
Now to get my Spark 2 in me.

That is looking nice buddy.
I don’t have a FlexEM, Just a test one, and from when I had the FlexMT I thought the range was amazing.
I just wish the install was a little easier.
Yours looks great

Just had my flexEM put in recently.
That’s the upper corner of the back of my right hand. The smaller dot below is where my titan went in. I had set it up before I had it installed and much to my surprise even through the swelling I was experiencing I was getting a read from almost an inch away. Really looking forward to everything healing up and seeing just how far out I can get with this.

Ah, so - a Titan in knife edge! That’s nice, I’m still thinking about that as well… any problems with that placement so far?

Nothing yet, I’m waiting for everything to heal up before I start messing with it too much. I tossed a paper clip on it just to make sure it was still in there. Can’t feel anything with it yet, likely just a swelling issue.

Although I can’t vouch for Titan I will say if you’re at all wanting to do lifting be careful with knife edge. I can only lift 2-3 paper clips now that mine has migrated

Meant to mention yesterday @amal the surgeon really approved of your packaging! When he was cutting on my hand he was like “Yeah these guys put it in alcohol or something so they clearly care at least a little if it’s sterile or not” I was just like yeah mate it’s chlorahexidine they’ve gotta be careful with sterility since it’s a big part of their business

Day 15
My body just taking its sweet time healing. Other than more notable soreness under and around the implant, nothing to report. Simply just continuing an every 5 day update.

Day 20
This will be the last update I post on the recovery of this install (unless something goes wrong).
This whole process has been somewhat pain free. I’ve found that when I do have slight discomfort, Blue-Emu Lidocaine Pain Relief Cream works very well.
From time to time I forget about the implant when I cram my hand in my pocket (followed by instant regret of course). I get a burning sensation when I make a tight fist, feels like I’m stretching or pulling at the weak encapsulation. It’s unclear whether that will get better over time, I’m optimistic.
