Dear Ted,
not wanting to interfere but i have a strong sense about this particular implant of yours that it is partially (actually mostly) gone, and that by now it's more the karmic issues that are at play and that (quote) "the feeling of being stuck" is in fact the right expression to be used... I normally do not say, but in this case i felt the pull to do so. I might be wrong, of course, in which case, excuses.
As Open says observation is essential.
