Lenora----return to sender?

Hi,
to all... especially Lenora's friends!!
I had a Card today returned form the states which I sent to Lenora.... with a message Return to sender "Vacant" unable to forward..... As a Uk resident I can only assume that means she has left that address and no farwarding address is available.
Please correct me if I am wrong.....
My guess is that she moved North to be with her Sons...I 'm sure she knows we still think of her; and wish her the best of health and happiness........a...

tiredness

Hi PM Pals

Does anyone out there suffer from extreme tiredness. I just can't seem to shake it. It is worse when I sit down to the computer. I know they say blue is a relaxing colour but the energy seems to just drain out of me. My blood test was ok with just a rise in iron level. My ecg showed no further changes. My doc rang me last night. My only conclusion is that it is the heat (it is summer here) or I am just getting plain old and worn out. My brain is so active but the bod...

Okay I'll ask.....


Just what is DMMS and how many people actually would go there and why?

I realize that I am dating myself, but hey this is the year that I will turn 55! So if I don't ask now I might run out of steam and I would never know. Now you all know that it would not be a good thing! How could I sleep at night if I had to wonder.....

Now someone please take mercy on me and bring me up to speed before I resort to phoning my granddaughter I can almost hear her chuckles now...

POOR PACING SERVICES IN UK

The UK is poorly served for pacing services compared to Western Europe. The service is also patchy what we call here a postcode lottery. To catch up on our near western europe partners the UK needs to implant another 28000 pacemakers per year. This is a shocking indictment of our health services and our government. People who need pacemakers are not getting them when they need them and this of course can and does prove fatal. Pacing specialists are not getting the support they need. There also...

Questions from pacer-to-be

If there is anyone who got a PM while asymptomatic could they let me know how they got on?

I am meeting my cardiologist next week to finally plan getting a PM. I have complete congenital heart block and I am 34. Thankfully I have no symptoms. Seeing as I am asymptomatic I dont expect the pm to make me feel better, but will it slow me down? and for how long? I can only imagine that its a bizarre sensaton...can you feel it ticking away. (my heart rate is just below 40bpm so I imagi...

more sick sinus syndrome

hi all:
i received my PM on 12/14/07 for SSS and all appears to be progressing well. i still have much tightness around the incision and mych soreness as well but it is tolerable and fairly common as i have read in this forum. my condition seems to have developed within the last 16 months ( i am 50years old). after doing much reading on this subject and speaking with my cardiologist, it is difficult to determine if the SSS is progressive beyound this point. that is, will it get any worse...

Electromagnetic Storms

I heard on the news recently about possible electromagnetic storms hitting the earth from solar eruptions on the sun that could knock out cell service and power grids etc. I haven't looked into this at all but I thought I'd throw it out there for discussion for those of you who know anything about this. Could something like that short out pacemakers and ICD's rendering them unusable?
