Furness's surgical technique, tested successfully in rats, rabbits, and dogs, involves removing muscle tissue from
various parts of the
body to create a replacement urinary sphincter, then implanting the sphincter
along with a small electrical stimulator similar to a pacemaker.
That particular morning, I'd worked my way through the customary
body parts; two sets, fifteen reps each, of leg extensions, leg curls, ab crunches, lower back, lat rows, the chest press and pec deck,
along with the shoulder press, and
various exercises for the biceps and triceps.
