Looking Forward

So, I'm really excited about my first PM check this Thursday. I was just telling my husband it's only in retrospect that I have realized that I am no longer woozy-headed since I received the PM. I simply dismissed that slightly dizzy feeling before but now that I "miss" it I realize what it was. I also had SOB that I denied to myself. I have always been a determined go-getter in life but ignored my body/heart telling me to pay attention. My last faint put a gash in the back of my head Oct. 7th and THAT got my attention! Coming to the understanding that my episode of complete heart block was a wake up call literally and that I needed a PM plus an AV node ablation for SVT, was no easy task. I thought I was stepping over the threshold into "old age", accepting that my heart needs assistance to beat. No way am I old and yes, I am young at heart! I made it through the process of acceptance and I look forward to Thursday when I find out how much it has done for me this far.

Good for you Butterfly!

Acknowledging and accepting how your device has helped you is such an important step.

It sounds like you have a great attitude.....also very important.

Good luck on Thursday, let us know how it goes.

So glad to hear you are doing well, physically and emotionally. It's funny how we tell ourselves we are ok but really what we are doing is compensating. It's great to hear the pm is doing its job and you are feeling well.

You know you're wired when...

Your signature looks like an EKG.
