Marisab..... You are still a shining star.... You always will be to me. I can see that you have quite a lot to deal with here. Stand tall, be proud and know I am backing you up. I value your opinions and I too seek to understand. I know the situation has come to where people are saying you are judgmental but I don't believe that for one minute! I realize that many young children have pacemakers for many different reasons. I also realize that there are different techniques as there are pacemak...

To admin,
I am a tad bit concerned about one of the pacer person [username removed by admin]. NO OFFENSE OR ANYTHING. I am 14 iIve had 8 surgeries not only do 2 pacers but lead replacements to (due to the fact that kids grow, therfore, their leads cannot work properly). Now [username removed by admin] has said she has gone through 1 surgery. And has had a pacer since she was less than 24hrs. old, the math is adding up to me. I am not the only kid concerned or thing she is a tad bi weird,...

I have had my two lead pm since Feb. 2007. I have such a hard heartbeat especially at night when I am quiet that it maddening. I just had a pacer check and they said everything was fine, I am 100% dependent as I had an av node ablation because of atrial fibrillation with severe palpitations. When I asked them to adjust the rate before it was beating so hard I had to go back the same day and have it put back. I can feel my heart beatng everywhere. My fingers chest stomach ears. It is hard...

Merry Christmas everyone. I'm back from my walk about, have been to China and Asia for work. Not a problem to be had. I thought I would just take a moment to wish all of us who have been given the gift of time a Merry Christmas and Best Wishes for a wonderful new year.
Something, I learned while on the walkabout is that we few are very, very fortunate people. There was a time just before I went off, that I had thought that many of the folks here, were simply here becuase they had...

Hi my dear friends,
I posted last week and need words of encouragement. Thank you for all of your thoughts.
Santa is bringing me a brand new pacemaker on Thursday, December 27. Just think...some people just get coal! I must have been a very good girl!
All joking aside, my surgery will be the first of the morning. I go in the hospital at 6. There will be a room reserved for me overnight just incase my leads need replaced. This set has been in there for 13 years. I...

Life lessons are things we learn from past experiences of sorrow and regret. This cite seems as a family pacers. We can all relate and some ways depend on each other. Everday, I think how fortunate I am to be alive, and to have a heart problem. It seems strange to thank God for such a strange thing. To thank him for heart problem, but my pacer has taught me the most important life lessons even as easy concepts they are that does not mean we all grasp them.
The biggest pacer life lesson to...
