7 months in...

and I rarely think about my PM.

Yesterday, I hopped in the car and reached over to get my seatbelt and I brushed the edge of my PM while doing so. I had the strangest feeling, not angry but maybe resentful?

I have been feeling really positive for a long time - it was such an odd and overwhelming feeling. Doing much better today. Has anyone else ever had a similar experience after "doing good" for so long?

Once in a great while, I accidentally run my fingers or hand over my lil' "energizer bunny". Yes, it brings back some questions of whether I should have had the PM ablation/implant. My health was OK, A-fib, A-flutter, etc. I had taken meds, done the shock "paddle" thing twice, etc. My EP/cardio, my GP, my families & friends all convinced me the PM route was the only way to go. Once in a great while I will have a few seconds of a "wave" of dizziness or "brush" my PM & yes, I do wonder about the ablation & it being so permanent. God gave me my heart ~ don't know if it should have been messed with by humans ~ LOL.

Then I stop & think how Blessed I am for having the option to correct somethin' gone bad (PM), the fact the good Lord lets me wake up each morn' & can still "wiggle" my toes in the morn' ~ then I feel all was worth the fears, worries, and all the other "stuff" which goes along w/intrusive things happening to my body.

I would like to hear other thoughts on DC Pacer's question. Take care, Carolyn G. in TEXAS ( :

I'm at 16+weeks now. Rarely think about the PM. With your help I quit wearing my Pulse watch every day! Thanks. It's something that happened to us, but if you look around there is always someone a lot worse off. All we can do is keep, keeping on!

THX Sue, Carolyn and Gary... Gary reminds me that I have helped others - we all have our moments where reality kind of hits us in the face.

Be well

I will have days when I feel fine and everything seems to be going great and like the other, I will brush across my PM or something will remind me of my heart and I start feeling depressed and resentful again. Like you, I got my PM in march of this year but have had a harder time dealing with it I guess. But, I am still hopeful that it will get better and day by day it is. So hopefully a time will come when I am reminded of my heart and just start to think of all the things I got to do because of my PM that I would have missed without it.
