Well I have been for my 6 month check-up today, the Tec said that all seems fine, a few PVCs but very short runs and nothing to worry about.
I did ask for a print out, but he was not allowed to give them out, so if I want one, I will have to pay for a print out of the whole of my hospital records. Next appoint in one year.
Anyway a tad concerned with my last interrogation compared with todays, when if you recall I reported the lady Tec said Good news, we have made quite a few...

I made it to the 6 week mark. For some reason that seems like a big deal to me. In the shower this morning I raised my arm a bit higher and it felt pretty good to be able to do that without that extreme fear. Ill still be fairly careful but if you are new to the PM hang in there time does pass!
I have an appointment Oct. 1 for a software update. Does anyone have experience with an update? I am calling it an software upgrade! My understanding is it will allow for the upper pacing to...
