This may be a double post because I think I posted it in the wrong way the 1st. time. If so I beg your pardons.

What I'm about to tell you is nothing short of incredible. I posted on 14 Jan how fantastic I felt coming home with My new pacer/defib. That evening (Friday) around 7:30 pm I was sitting at My laptop when a feeling came over Me like I have Never experienced before. I was getting ready to pass out. I yelled for My wife & as I was heading towards the kitchen floor I could hear or sense My Defib charging up. I knew I was going to take a Hit.I got on the floor just as It discharged. HOLY !!!!!!!!!!!....I never lost consciousness. I yelled for My Wife to call 911. The paramedics showed up & off we went. The Boston Scientific rep was paged to the ER & 90 minutes later after interrogating My device We had the answer. I was going into Arrest & the defib smacked me with 1 Hit of 32 Joules(Watt/seconds) & snapped Me out of it. Less than 32 hours after installation it saved My bacon. The Docs & Hospital staffwere amazed & in awe. Not half as much as Me though. I returned home this afternoon grateful but, frankly, scarred. They have me on a Beta blocker now that's making me quite spacey. Anyone else have a similar experience (I hope not)?
