A little info

I started at 46 with first heart attack-triple bypass. In 2001 had another attack and double bypass. In 2009 brought the pacemaker/defib. Just had a stint in Feb this year. Doc said I'm going downhill since Feb so on the 14th of this month getting a new biventricular pacemaker-said I needed the 3rd wire. I've had 5 heart attacks. Last year I went into afib about 8 times, kinda lost track. Had an ablation and that did the trick- no more afib.

I have a Bi-V ICD. It has helped me tremendously.
I hope you find some relief with yours.

Glad you found us!

I'm pullin' for you! You have more than your share of heart issues and I'm sure hoping that you are not going to require any more surgeries after this. There comes a time when we just want to feel good and not be healing.

I think your time has come to feel good so that is my wish for you today, that you have a successful surgery, heal fast and you can back to your life!

Best Regards,
Pacergirl

Dr said my ventricles were working against each other and not working with. He is confident he can fix me! I'll keep you posted.

To tell you the truth I never even give it a second thought. While growing up it never stopped me from doing anything and to this day my girlfriend or my kids need to remind me that I have one!
