Number Five

Pacer number five tomorrow.  Three medtronics, one St. Jude and now a Boston Scientific.  And the first one I dont get to keep after.  Time to move from a two chamber to three chamber.

I am actually eager for this, want to get my heart running smoother again, will see how I feel tomorrow night (when the pain has arrived).  But in a handful of months hopefuly my EF will come back up...

Thanks so much for this site, in 1987 when I got my first one, I was 19, was decades later literally before I found a place like this where I could find out Im not the only one, learn stuff, answer questions that I had but nobody could help me with and had to figure out...Actually I had some really good doctors too, and still do, that tolerate my questions...But the docs nor the techs have pacers, they dont know what it really feels like...

Thanks, see you on the flip side.

Thanks!

 

Again this is number five, not my first rodeo.  So far no need for pain meds, will see how it goes.  Feeling good despite pretty much no sleep last night (as expected)...Only real problem is communication among hospital staff, one person says one thing one says another, ask you the same questions even though at least two folks ahead of you asked them and logged them into the system already...

 

You know you're wired when...

You run like the bionic woman.
