Hey all...just wanted everyone to know that I had my one-week check up today and things are looking good. I got the staples out (and almost passed out in the process), and my incision looks awesome...no swelling!!! All the tests looked good, and I was able to get my self-test time changed to 3am and my sleep mode adjusted a bit, so I can get a good nights sleep and hopefully sleep through the self test. I am currently using my PM 11% of the time - not bad in the grand scheme, but enough to make me feel a heck of a lot better! I had 254 rate drop episodes in the last week...a little scary for me to see on paper, but I know there are folks out there who are much worse off. So, for now, I am on the mend and getting there. One more week off and then back to work and normal life. I was officially released to drive again after the black out episodes...so Yay! Thanks for all the support!

Rate Drop

That would be episodes of my heart rate dropping, so my pacemaker kicks on to raise my rate back up. I am not using the pacer all the time because my heart rate is fine 90% of the time.

Be careful not to develop that terrible condition called number-itus! You will have problems the rest of your life.
I have a particularly bad case of it.

10 toes
2 eyes
2 ears
1 mouth
I check every morning for any change!!!

Just because you have a device doesn't mean you are damaged goods and can't do anything worthwhile and have to lie down and die. In fact, you're better and stronger. You're bionic!

Great to hear that your check up went so well, glad to hear they changed the self test too.
11% of the time...that is excellent.
I only have one question: what is rate drop?
Enjoy the rest of your time off before going back to work!!!!!!!!
