Check-Up, Update...

Well, I'm so excited I think my heart is doing a jig! Apparently I have somehow improves the function of my heart! It is much stronger now than last year! My upper chamber is giving me some problems, (recorded 7 episodes in May) but the bottom is working just fine. Dr. says he could add more medications to help that.... but.... he does not recommend it. He says i'm doing GREAT! I have 9 years left on this pacemaker :=) I'm so happy!

He also added that if I am feeling very, very tired, then I am either 1.) Have a touch of a virus or 2.) having an adverse reaction to high summer temps! He probably is right. So he suggested that I keep the AC on and workout inside, or swim!

Just wanted to share my good news!

Thank you,
Pacergirl

I thrilled for you, I was just thinking about you yesterday, I knew your doctor's appointment was coming up.

I sure TraceyE will weigh in on this and tell you to make sure you drink lots and lots of water with these high temps.

I know how upset you were in May.

Thanks for sharing the good news!

Glad to hear things are working out so well for you. Keep it up. You are doing something right.

It's great to hear you have a doc who isn't into messing around with a good thing.

You know you're wired when...

Your ICD has a better memory than you.

My ICD/pacer is not a burden. I still play tennis and golf.
