Hi you all.i live in kennewick and the hospital id in richland wa.the first time i met the doctor he told me only a one lead pacemaker was needed. When i saw the doctor before surgery he said it was a two lead one.it is strange knowing i have a small computer in me.they told me my upper chamber was pacing 86percent.gosh i do feel better. Its the pain at the incision site. But pack and pain meds do help. The sling is coming off. I thank the support from other fellow pacers on here. I read alot and felt safe having done.thank you all.

You know you're wired when...

You need to be re-booted each morning.
