Had my 1st official Device Check  today (they had done one at incision check 2 weeks ago). 2 weeks ago,  it showed I was being paced 23% of the time.  Today's interrogation showed less than 1% paced! Nurse said my heart block may be very erratic,  so she wasn't surprised.  I am thrilled  to hear this and feel very relieved!  

I also learned why they hadn't  programmed my pm for Rate Response ... She said Atria controls that function (increasing heart rate when exercising)  and there was no indication I had any problems with the Atria function.  They program  for known problems,  so that pm isn't doing more than necessary. 

All in all,  I felt much better after today's visit.
