Cell Phone

Simple solution is always " if it bothers you - don't do it ". As far as if you should, it may not be the best idea, but it's not a real no no either.

Ask your doctor, or pacer rep

I know when I got my pacer 3 months, I received a User's Manual a lot like the kind you get with new appliances, etc. It's kind of weird...like I was reading a manual to a new MP3 player or something....hee, hee.
It's kind of weird to realize that you now have your very own personal user's manual. Who would've thunk it.
Anyways, I know that my manual had something in there about cell phone and cordless phone usage. I believe mine stated that these items should be kept approx 6 inches from the device.
When in doubt, always call you doctor if you're not sure about anything.

Your ICD has a better memory than you.

I wasn't really self-conscious about it. I didn't even know I had one until around six or seven years old. I just thought I had a rock in my side.
