Quality of Life - My View

A lot of talk about “Quality of Life” so I had to throw my two cents worth in.

My P/M has really improved my “quality of life”! No question about it.

Before my implant I was so weak that just caring for myself was a chore and we won’t even talk about the syncope. Now I can again enjoy getting out and walking and enjoy my family too. Maybe the qualitys not to the point that it once was and most likely never will be, but improved – yes it is.

Life is what you make it. You have to play the hand you’re dealt and it’s how you play those cards that matters.

I’ve decided that quality beats quantity any day and If this is as good as it gets I’m blessed.

I feel the same way most days....I have some bad just like everyone else.
I didn't want a Pacemaker.....but thats life. We don't always get what we want.
So I try and think of it as a blessing. I am alive. I will never be the same....but I feel so much better than before.

I have been able to exercise more and more. I am getting there.
But in a strange way....I Feel Blessed to have my Pacemaker and a wonderful EP.

I was thinking about it the other day after my appointment. My EP is about the same age as I am....so we will grow old together!

my thoughts are i owe noone anything. if i have apologized and the person does not accept it is best then to not fight that and just go on. there is so much more in life and so little time to enjoy so i am focusing on that now. i have gone out of my way for years for certain people and now i won.t be doing that anymore. it is a feeling of freedom. i wish all well but i must go on and live my life the best i can to my liking. here i thought i was helping but alas i was not. i am trying to be positive and my life is opening up to many people. i can.t believe it. the commas and question marks are a bit different here in rome. lol best to all love,jessie

You know you're wired when...

You take technology to heart.
