Happy PM Birthday!

Hi SirPedro ~ Happy "Pacemaker Birthday" to you next month! I am very new here ~ just had my PM implanted 3 weeks ago and am learning so much about them and am adjusting to life with one. I am so happy to have found this group. Like you, I don't have anyone in person to talk to about this stuff so it's nice to find people with a common bond! I don't know if there is such a thing as a "pacemaker birthday" or not, but it sounds like a great idea to me! Take care and enjoy your party!!

You should absolutely celebrate the birthday of your pm! My 20th pacing anniversary is coming up in May, trying to think of something appropriate to mark the occasion, something I never could have done without it. Someone told me about a place nearby where you can paintball and zipline that sounds fun, but you get in trouble for shooting paintballs at the people on the zips, the party poopers. Still thinking...

HA!

I would totally go do that! If I were you I'd go and shoot said zipliners with paintballs. Whats the worst they could do? Kick you out? Pffftt! OH! question I've been meaning to ask... Does anyone know if someone with sinus bradycardia can go skydiving? I've always wanted to do that. I think this is the year I do that.

skydiving

If you do a search I'm sure it has come up before. It's probably ok, though I suspect the skydiving company might have a problem with it. I've never had the urge to jump out of a perfectly good plane so have not looked into it. I know scuba diving is limited how deep we can go due to the pressure.

You know you're wired when...
