Glad to hear you are doing well since your pacemaker.

Yes, the chat works (sometimes).

Adjusting to your pacemaker will take some time. For me it took a good 3-4 months...everyone is different on healing though.

and yes, you can do pretty much everything you did before...

Welcome to our little site it is great. Like pookie said yes the chat works just locks up. Like my doc said you can do what ever your body will let you do listen to it. always tell your doc what is happening even if it seems small, I do im one of those pain in the arses u here about.lol

A pacemaker completely solved my problem. In fact, it was implanted just 7 weeks ago and I ran a race today, placed first in my age group.
