Healthy-just a thought.

Electric Frank pointed out something I think is important. When I first joined the pacemaker club I said in my profile. And i quote Healthy as a horse except for the pacemaker. He suggested I probably should have said healthy as a horse because of the pacemaker. As usual Electric Frank is absolutely correct. However thinking back on that now I did not know that at the time. I thought that having a pacemaker made you some what less of a person. Now I know that is not the case. You were just sick and the pacemaker or ICD is just the cure. We as old members of the club have to keep that in mind when we converse with new members of the club. They are looking for reasons why they are inferior. it is our job to help them to realize that the pacer- ICD is just another tool to help them to realize their dreams. To live there lives to the fullest and give them more time to make their lives and others lives better. I have found since getting my pacer there is nothing better than a 2nd chance. Just a thought.

It's simply a cure for a disease, and a miraculous one at that for many of us. I am most definitely healthy as a horse because of my pm. Well said, Bowlrbob

to living without a pm is not acceptable ! I am so grateful for technology !!!! Am still waiting to get back to 100% but believe me I have nooooooooo complaints. I am so grateful for a 2nd chance - and my relationship with my only son has improved immensely - a truly unexpected bonus :-) Hate to sound like Polyanna but I'll take the pm and my son any day !!!

no i think in families it is also a sign oh mom or dad was really sick and now we have them back. wow

I love this new part of me, and very, very thankful that this technology exists and I know that it's all only going to get better over time.
