An updated (4 months after ops)

Hi All,
Just an updated from Indonesian.
Last Saturday I visited my EP for PM checking. Everything was going well and Rate Response feature was set OFF since my natural heart can catch up to 155bpm during stress/treadmill test.

Last month I drove my car to my hometown about 200km away to celebrate Moslem Iedul Fitri festive (aftef 1 month fasting periods). I seems impossible to be done without PM. Thank God and to all of you who support me at the beginning to join this site (specially Ela-girl and Chatryn).

When I look at the Member Galllery, I am sure not alone here and it's build up my mind positively.

Warm regards,

Gandara

Hi, Gandara! It's me again...ela-girl. It is so good to hear you are doing better and that you are staying positive. Both are so important! And the member gallery IS really great...I love it, too!

I remember you saying that you also have vertigo. How are you doing with the vertigo? My mother suffers from vertigo and has for many years now. She has a mix of medications that seem to help her along on the really bad days, and she is going through a good spell without any problems right now.

Feel free to private message me any time with any questions on the pacemaker or the vertigo!

Pace well!

Hello Gandara,

Glad to hear things are going well for you. I agree that it is nice to see pictures of some of the poeple that keep us from being alone with our pacemaker experience. Being able to see the people is more reason to make me think this site is about the greatest thing that can happen to us with pacemakers. We can always see that we are not home alone and that we can find somone with an experience like whatever we may be having.

From the picture you posted I have to say you have a very handsome family.

Good luck,

Smitty

Thank you

Hello Gandara,
What a lovely note you posted updating the club members. This just goes to show you that no matter who we are, where we live, language we speak or the way we worship we are all in this together. These little technology gems -cardiac devices - bring us all together as one. Warm wishes to you and your family. God bless you.
