traveling

I go to Disney Orlando every year...due to my bad back I always chose my rides carefully.......I received my pacemaker/defibular 1 and a half years ago. So this will be my first trip since surgery.....I have my card to show at the airport...very nervous about that I had problems at my local courthouse with showing my card and receiving an attitude...I am telling myself airports deal with this all the time.so I shouildn't have problems. Also in my booklet it said if you plan on sex tell your doctor to turn up defibular...has anyone done this? Also before I got excited when I rode rides...but now could that make my defibular go off? I know lots of questions....I am just scared...thank you for taking time to read this

Hi,
It has been 4 years now that I have my PM and as an IT consultant I fly about every week (38 departures last year).
So far I have had 1 strange experience at a small airport that stated that their equipment was PM proof. I told them to test it on someone else but me and that was it. All the other airports do not have any problems whatsoever.
But just in case: you are the one in control and if they have a problem with it than it is their problem and not yours.
Just enjoy your trip.
Adrian F.

thank you

I'm 35 and got my pacemaker a little over a year ago. It definitely is not a burden to me. In fact, I have more energy (which my husband enjoys), can do more things with my kids and have weight because of having the energy.
