Positive Attitude!!!!!!!!!!!!
I geuss that knowledge and experience make all the differance. Getting my PM at the age of 36 was a shock and scary for everyone involved. I have been very fortunate that that was the "fix" and not a problem to speak of since. This week it was thought that my elderly uncle had a heart attack and everyone was worried. It was discovered that he din't have a MI and only a drastic slow down in his BPM. To make a long story short, my Mom (his sister) went to see him in the hospital this am and informed me that he only needed a PM. He now has that " funny thing sticking out of his neck like you (mysely) did" (temporary PM), but he's fine.

Better than meds

The nice thing about a pacemaker is that it only affects the heart where the problem is. Heart meds affect the whole body and especially the brain. So your positive attitude about a pacemaker is right on. We live at a great point in time. In the past the pacers weren't so small, versitile and reliable.
