call them

It sounds llike they made some setting changes that aren't working for you. Let them know and ask to undo whatever they just did, or at least explain why they did it.

Advocate for yourself

This is one of those times when you have to be a little pushy.

They don't know it's a problem for you unless you tell them...and tell them...and tell them.

For me, dealing with life with a pacemaker, the hardest thing to learn was that I had to advocate for myself.

 

You know you're wired when...

Your pacemaker interferes with your electronic scale.

As for my pacemaker (almost 7 years old) I like to think of it in the terms of the old Timex commercial - takes a licking and keeps on ticking.
