Surgery number 1

Hi all, Thought I would let you know what my afternoon is going to be like. I will be having surgery today around one or so. They will be removing pacermaker and leads. For the next two days I will not have a a pacermaker on which is pretty insane. I will have the pads hooked up at all times incase they have to shock me. This is to help the infection to heal more and then Fri I will go back in and have pacer placed on opposite side.
So say some prayers and I will keep you posted as I can.

No Touchy!!!

Hi Tammy, With all our Prayers & get well wishes you will do fine. I shouldn't have to mention about the "no touchy me" without proper hand cleaning. Just heard on the news the other day about how lax hospital caregivers are these days. It's our responsibility to remind everyone to use sterile gloves as more & more people are getting seriously ill from hospital bugs getting passed around. I don't want to be so negative but having a family member nurse I get reminded regularly of bad personal habits by hospital personel. I also observed this less than a week ago as a patient. Enough!! Tammy, Prayers are still with you and better days ahead! donb
