Transmission

I did my transmission on my PM this morning over the phone. My PM is a little over 7 years old. It has been very good to me. It is getting near the end of its young life. I have done this kind of surgery 3 times before. It doesn't get any easier. They said I have about 5 to 16 more months left of the battery. I will do another transmission in January to see where it stands at that time. I am not looking forward to it but I need it done every few months. Luckily I have had good experience with all of mine so far. No complications at all. I bounce back from surgery pretty good. With this one I had it put in on a Monday and was home the very next day. The following week I was back at work with few precautions. Not too bad.

'ENERGIZER BUNNY' ~ ~ ~

I have had my PM since 11/2009 ~ still going strong, but I am starting to have personal questions to my self. The heart doctor said I would need a replacement in 2017 ~ my 1st replacement ever.

What I am wondering, is how does a person feel when their PM is running out of energy? Can I/Will I be able to feel this? Since I am 100% dependent, is there a possibliity it would just quit on me? I travel/live btw our two ranches in TEXAS. At both, I am about 45 minutes from any hospital/doctor ~ maybe an hour.

Also, will I be as sore around 'that' area (PM pocket) as I was the 1st few weeks when I had my first was placed?

Any other advice, thoughts, ideas, persnonal Xperiences anyone can share with me on this? I went thru my 1st only PM placement just fine ~ overnight in the hospital for observation.

THANX from TEXAS,
