Is that a Pacemaker Club record ? I wonder if anyone can beat it ??

I assume that you have had the odd day without walking 3 miles to have pacemaker changes . How many have you had now ??

You are an inspiration to the nervous newcomers to our bionic world

Best wishes

That's great! I would love to hear more. How many times your PM has been replaced and how Pm's have changed over those 4+ decades!

Thanks for making us newbies feel better. I've only had my pm for 6 weeks and always worrying and thinking ahead about how long my battery will last and will my leads hold up..... I would just love to be able to forget I have a pm. Hearing that you have had yours for 42 years is very encouraging ! Thanks for sharing and long may you run !

You know you're wired when...

You read consumer reports before upgrading to a new model.

I feel so blessed to have this little gem implanted in me. When I think of the alternative it is quite overwhelming sometimes.
