Recent poll

Just curious who set up the most recent poll about the home monitor. I didn't participate because it didn't have my answer or anything close to my situation.

For future polls I think it should have included a response of every three months or less.

you could have answered some of the questions.  Polls do not have all the answers we all want.  these were what the poll  wanted the answers for.

Tina, thank you for your post.  Our Poll survey has been running for months now.  Probably time for a new one.

Tracey_E and I set up the Poll on home monitoring after consulting with other members.  

Clearly on our present Poll, it does provide the opportunity to record those members being monitored more frequently than every 3 months, although I accept that there is a gap between monitoring daily and monitoring every 3 months.  The Poll is not perfect but it has provided a useful guide to just how many of us have home monitoring.  

Until recently, my husband has not had any monitoring at all (since 2018) but that has now thankfully changed.  I instead have enjoyed home monitoring since my pacemaker implant in the same year.  What about you Tina?  Would you care to share with us your monitoring history?

My pacemaker was implanted in 2010. I'm just coming up on my first replacement and have been sending in monthly transmissions as the battery life gets shorter. Its looking like early 2023 for a new pm. Happy holidays everyone!

They're just for fun. The software limits how many responses we can include so we do our best to have a good variety of answers, but we'll never be able to cover everything.

If you have a suggestion for a poll, please message me. The current one has been there for a while now.

I had a pacemaker when I was 11. I never once thought I wasn't a 'normal kid' nor was I ever treated differently because of it. I could do everything all my friends were doing; I just happened to have a battery attached to my heart to help it work.
