An excellent forum . ..

that could be better yet .
A forum so good, IMO, that sections should be daily mandatory reading for cardio- nurses and doctors .. As to "better" , we need MUCH , MUCH more participation .. and responses , even if only a "thank you" .
Special thanks to Tracey and the knot guy and others , who have been so helpful to PM users.

I'm celebrating my 6th anniversary with my bosom buddy and the forum has been with my all the way, though now I sometimes forget. That's the good news! LOL

Nothing like the best, we may take it for granted , I am sure that I do ..
Only one comment ....and ones health is far more important than trivial things , sports, chit-chat stuff ..

I too feel this should be mandatory reading for cardio staff. If you haven't walked a mile in the shoes, it is difficult to understand the patient. We who are fitted with a PM are walking a new pathway, we experience things that we've never experienced before and sometimes, when it is bought to the attention of the doctors/nurses it can be brushed aside with "OH that's nothing for you to worry about" Well sometimes it's just not that easy to brush off the doubts that you feel when something feels not quite right and your concerns are dismissed as trivia. Our concerns may seem trivial to the medico's but certainly not to the patient.

You know you're wired when...

Like the Energizer Bunny, you keep going.

It is just over 10 years since a dual lead device was implanted for complete heart block. It has worked perfectly and I have traveled well near two million miles internationally since then.
