In the club now
Posted by talldave on 2010-08-28 09:57
 
I am a 32yr old very active male, currently living in Switzerland and since pretty much 24hrs I am in the club now. Some of you might have seen my first 2 questions. Just wanted to say that the actual procedure of getting a PM is a walk in the park, compared to what I expected. Yes, it hurts afterwards, but nothing what a pain killer won't fix.

I have (or used to have) AV Block III and a resting heart rate in the mid 30s to low 40s. Now I have a minimum of 50.

Just some advice for you who are not yet in the "club". For those of you who have some kind of faith. Praying helps a lot with coping. I prayed for strength and was totally calm the day before surgery, during surgery and now.

Thanks

Just wanted to say Welcome and glad all went well. You will be back to your active lifestyle very quickly but don't rush it. Give it a good 6 to 8 weeks and increase slowly. All the best to you.
