Going Back To Work?

I just received a ICD implant and hoping to go back to work sometime in May. I am a haul truck driver in a mine just wondering if I can still go back to the same job.

Check your state regulations. Pacemakers are ok but ICD's can be a problem with the license.

Curtisd, I see you live in Canada. You should check the laws there to see if you can continue to maintain a commercial driver license. In the US, particularly in Oklahoma, a pacemaker is considered a remedy to a health issue so it does not affect the CDL. An ICD is considered to be a solution for a more serious health issue, and the CDL is no longer an option.
