Thanks Robin for all the helpful comments, as to moving my arm I have been that. Do you know of any helpful Web sights, that has post pacemaker exercises to do.I will check u tube thank you again for taking time out of your to day to try in help someone. You have already been there so you can help others from your experience. I have sleep apnea I was diagnosed in 2007 I have severe sleep apnea, my doctor says he thinks it has gotten worse. so I am due another in depth sleep study. I've got so many health problems. I've got 9 cardiac stents, I have had 3 strokes 2 of which was mini strokes. the one stroke I had to learn to talk and walk again. I was in rebealtion for months. So I know how to fight for my life. This has been a Bear. but I am seeing slow progress. I'll keep on fighting. thanks again!

But I think it will make me feel a lot better. My stamina to walk is already better, even right after surgery. They had me walk all around the floor before they would release me. I did so without being exhausted and winded the way I had been.
