in Elective Replacement Time. Finally called Guidant/Boston Scientific today to get answer as only thing I could find on Google that was any where near helping was all our posts on our site. Nice gal @ Guidant said for my situatiuon (100% paced) & my PM that usually last 90 days but not to wait until day 89. Hah! Gee, doesn't know how I am so I assured her I wouldn't. Just for giggles, I asked how long does one have when it goes into End of Life. She says (& probably with a straight face) that they didn't recommend it.

I got a call from EP's office today & he wants another echo as last one in 2007 & altho was good we all know things change. So that is to be done 7/29 & then see EP for apt. Told it will be replaced soon after. A relief as on Medicare & who knows what D.C is going to do with that.
