Just remember

Just remember, after printing off the comments, they still may not believe you.

Ran into the problem where my EP says testing the PM doesn't put me into afib. Tech says it can. So even when he has medical people telling him one thing he still chooses to believe another.

I'm one of the rare people who can feel my afib. Can tell you the second it starts. Can tell you the second it stops. It means I have extra nerve endings in my arteries. It's great for dealing with afib. It's torture whenever I have a blood draw. Especially when the person doing the blood draw uses the bigger needle and has to go a second time.

They had the voltage set high after my PM implant. I could sometimes feel the tickle, followed by the hard thump of the heartbeat. Sometimes, but not always. After they reduced the voltage I can feel the effects of my pacemaker but not the electrical tickle.

Be prepared for the medical team to say, "Didn't happen that way. All in his head."

Otherwise, good luck.

You should just be able to select 'Print' from your browser. In Internet Explorer 11, you get at it through the 'Settings' menu - the cog icon in the top right. For other browsers it'll be on a drop-down menu somewhere, or a right mouse click on the page.

Just looked at a print preview on Google Chrome and IE11, and they both look like the page format will print just fine.

You know you're wired when...

You’re officially battery-operated.

A pacemaker completely solved my problem. In fact, it was implanted just 7 weeks ago and I ran a race today, placed first in my age group.
