Pacemaker type

I am considering having a neurostimulator implant for lumbar pain management. If my pacemaker is an "on-demand" device then I would be ineligible for the neurostimulator. How would I know what type of pacemaker the 5380 is?

So the only way for me to clean baked on tins from Christmas cooking was in the laundry trough, and then balancing them on a towel on top of the washing machine to dry them. The machine was busy washing all the grandchildren's' clothes. As I leaned near the machine, it stopped, but started again when I moved away. I checked to see whether I had accidentally leant on the controls, but I hadn't. So I tried several times moving close and it stopped every time. When I had finished drying the t...

Ho, Ho, Ho, Now I know...

Well, this is my 78th Christmas. According to my D-i-L, I've seen three more than the average member of the 1936 cohort in the USA. Every year now is a blessing that others may not enjoy.

The 1936 cohort is dropping like flies, so I am thankful for each day I am given to enjoy with my long-suffering wife (Mary Helen) of 54 yrs. Appropriately, we were married on the 14th of June 1959 - the US Army's Birthday, where we as a family spent 28 yrs + on active duty.

HO HO HO !!! .....


..........................May I wish all at PM Club the very best for a great Christmas.

Thank you to my friends both Old ( you know who you are !) and New.

Thank you to the serious ones and the jokey ones.

Thank you all for your patience with a Cranky Brit who will push his luck at the slightest opportunity......there is precious little chance that I shall improve in that department.

A special thought for Electric Frank...............

Merry Christmas & Thank You

Just wanted to wish everyone a festive holiday season. Also wanted to thank everyone for all the support and advice you have provided over these past few months. I have learned so much by reading all the posts and I don't think I could have handled this event in my life without all of you. 2013 has not been my best year but because of this site, I am looking forward to an awesome 2014.

In hospital for 26 days

I have a home health nurse and will still have to be infused for two more weeks with antibacterial fluids, My question is this. Will I feel extremely...
