Lead replacement recovery

Hi all, 

I'm new on here and relatively new to the pacemaker deal. I just have a couple questions and I wanted some opinions. I just had my pacemaker placed this year at the end of July, and I guess there was something wrong with where the lead(s) were placed or they have moved and so I have an appointment coming up to go in and move or replace them. I was just wondering what the recovery was for this type of thing. I know the recovery after getting the actual pacemaker, and I'm getting my Masters and I'm also a softball coach so it's not the most ideal thing to not being able to raise my arm for a month. So, I was curious if anyone had any answers for me! 

Thank you guys !

You are going to feel better a lot faster this time because they will go in the same place, but unfortunately the restrictions on movement are going to start over again. 

You know you're wired when...

You take technology to heart.
