Getting pacemaker Monday September 12

Have not been on here in a while. I have been on here periodically. I have 3rd degree congenital heart block. I am 44. I have known for a while that I have this but the doctor has decided now is the time to get the pacemaker. I wanted to get back on here because I know I will have questions for you all! Anyway I have 5 more days to go!

As you have questions, ask away! Most of us find it was easier than expected.

Weekend

I just want to wish you the best! I had a 1st degree block that went to a 3rd degree a week after I turned 38. It was a little scary, but looking back now I realize that the whole thing was a real piece of cake. I was playing competitive basketball within 5 months and I never looked back. The pacemaker has provided me with 30 years of a perfectly normal life in every way.

Enjoy the weekend and milk it afterwards for everything you can get out of it!

Don't forget to post back next week and let us know how it went!

Sincerely,

David

I am just grateful to God that I lived long enough to have my ICD put in. So many people are not as lucky as us; even though we sometimes don't feel lucky.
