How scary! Best wishes for a successful surgery. Have they discussed switching to epicardial leads? They don't go in the veins. 

They have had some bumps in the road with the leadless but as far as I know they are still in testing. We've had one or two members with one. In order to qualify for one, you can only need single chamber pacing, you can't have existing traditional leads, and you can't be dependent. So, they've made great strides but it's a long way from being a choice for most of us. 

You know you're wired when...

Your heart beats like a teenager in love.

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.
