Pat e-mailed our office over the weekend:
Saturday 11.55 I took one pain pill to get to sleep Friday night. At about 6:45am the back of my head felt a little sore so I took another pill. Slept until 10am. I feel great. No swelling in the front or back. Still wearing the magnetic head band. Thanks again Pat Barry.
Saturday 7PM. Ran a few errands at around 4pm. Found a hat that would not rub the front of my head. But I didn't wear the magnet headband. I started to feel some discomfort from the back of my head around 6pm. When I got home I put the headband on and it's starting to feel better. Also no swelling. No pain pills today. Pat Barry
9AM Sunday morning. No pain pills. Slept through the night. Back of head a little sore but no pain. Slept with headband on. NO swelling at all. Feels much better today. Looks better too. Pat Barry
6PM Sunday. Everything is fine. I took a shower and was able to gently wash my hair. Didn't know how to use the dryer. So used no heat. I have not used any pain pills. I have no pain. I have NOT used a single cube of ice and I have NO swelling. Just the magnetic headband. Talk to you soon. Pat Barry
