I have some good news! :)

Today was my annual checkup with my Cardiologist and my EP. I have had more than a few medical test today. I had the Heart Echo, the Nuclear Stress test some other test I can't recall. The Awesome news is that I am pacing less than I have in years! I was able to talk with "Todd" the amazing EP about the St. Jude "Accent" dual pacemaker that I have and he shared some pretty incredible information with me about my pacemaker. It was a great visit.

I did very well on the treadmill and recovered at a very good rate. My weight is down, my blood pressure is good and I don't have to go back until next June!

"Todd" the Ep took the time to explain more about my "Merlin" and how it works. He explained to me that St. Jude now helps the new patient learn about how to set them up and use them. I was apparently one of the first groups to get the Merlin and they have changed how they do things. Thank goodness!

I still have another health issue to deal with tomorrow, but at least my heart is behaving. Life is good, praise God!

Cheers!
