Looking for Contact

Hi Pacers

My husband and I and the dog, Monni(cocker spaniel) are embarking on a round Australia trip in April, by car. Taking us where we fancy. We desperately need a break from the stress we have encountered over the last few years. Our first stop will be with Rewired Aussie. I was wondering if there are any other Aussies out there who belong to this club. I would love to meet you for a cuppa at your local bakery or such in your town as I pass through. It will give me great co...

Trouble sleeping?

Hello Again Everyone,

OK, sorry guys, I have to address this question to the ladies, however, if you gentlemen would like to respond I would like to hear as well.

Question:

Do you have problems sleeping, i.e., laying on your side, either side, back, I think the stomach we all know would be out of the question.

Since getting my PM this past Aug. I find it difficult at times to get comfortable.


Thank you,
Casey Jo

What's up with people born in 1966?

Okay,
In my opinion this is getting a bit odd. I have been looking at members profiles. It appears that there are a lot of us born in 1966. Myself included. So if I think we should start a 66 club. It would be cool.

Let me know what you think.

TWO WOMEN

Two women who had just had thier pacemakers fitted and were lying in a hospital ward. They were bored and as so often happens the subject of sex came up between them. One says to the other "Do you talk to your husband when you are making love" The other women answers " Only if the phone rings"

Stevie Wonder Concert

This is completely unrelated to PM's, but yesterday my husband and I went and saw Stevie Wonder in concert. I'm still excited that we had that opportunity. It was such a great concert. His daughter was there as one of his back up singers.

Man was it a great show. We had such a good time.

Shocking & pacing

Could some one please explain to me about the shocking & pacing. I have had a Medtronic pacemaker that is set at low 60 and high 135. I really don't feel anything other then an occasional "twinge" or slight pain in the chest area if I am stressed or over do it. At one time while doing the backstroke in swimming, I did or rather think I did feel the pm move. Is that possible? How can you tell if you pm is pacing? Thanks for any info. aljdeer

Nonstandard Treatment

A 63 year old woman went to the emergency room, where she was seen by a young new doctor. After about 3 minutes in the examination room, the doctor told her she was pregnant. She burst out of the room and ran down the corridor screaming. An older doctor stopped her and asked what the problem was; after listening to her story, he calmed her down and sat her in another room

Then the doctor marched down the hallway to the first doctor's room. "What is wrong with you?" he demanded. "Thi...

Heart Block Cured, Should PM Be Removed

I had my aortic valve replaced at The Cleveland Clinic in September. During the surgery, the surgeon found a shelf of calcium just below the AV node and removed it. The removal of the calcium shelf has eliminated my heart block and the need for my pacemaker.

My question is, should I consider having the pacemaker sugically removed? I have had the pacemaker since February of 2007.

Thank you,
