Pookie Update

In my last post (in response to a post by Arabella, my dear friend) I explained why I went to the ER on Wednesday and what was done (and not done) and what was promised.

WELL...the pain down my arm got worse, the numbness spread into my entire right side of my face, so I ended back in the ER again yesterday!! This time is was from 8pm last night until 9am this morning. BUT...this time I got a doctor who did blood tests, which are all fine, and he did a CT scan of my head....which is...

Does the whole pacemaker get replaced or just the battery ?? I have had mine since 2002. Could someone explain, one pacemaker club member to another what happens...... thanks

Should I Be Concerned?

I have been doing really well as far as my heart rate is concerned since my complete sinus node ablation in November. The ablation left me pacemaker dependant...I pace 100% in the atria.

The low setting on my pacer is 70 bpm. All through the night and this morning, my rate has been over 100 bmp. This has not happened since before my ablation. My resting rate is ALWAYS 70 because of the pacer!

I am having constant, dull chest pain. My heart beat feels very forceful, and I c...

Lots to say

Well, I'm back. I will never go to another theme park as long as I live - I felt like a coat rack!! Staying in a park for 6 hours with nothing to do but hold people's crap is not my idea of fun. My ex was about to be strangled (by me), I had horrible dizzy, exhaustion, cold, and chest pain episodes, and my room mate and best friend came down w/ acute bronchitus!! There were some fun high lights, though. Then I found out about Peter in the middle of the library yesterday and broke down in tears -...

Condolences

I just went to the Fall 2008 newsletter to read about Peter Nash. First, my apologies for not having been more attentive to the postings about his passing. Having read your comments about Peter; I regret that I arrived to the PM club too late. He obviously brought a great deal of inspiration here. My deepest sympathies to his wife, family and friends and to all who will miss him.

Taking a roadtrip

Im sad to hear we lost another pacerclub family members today. My heart goes out to the family and friends. I never met peter but he sounds like a wonderful friend.
Last week when we lost Debbie here, I got very depressed. I remembered the last chat we had, I told her to dance like nobodys watching. Well it got me thinking, why am I not "dancing like nobodys watching"? Im recovered fine and I feel great. All my checkups have been on track and I dont go back for 6 months. So why am I still...

Yesterday was my first day mountain biking after my implant. I wiped out several times and everything is fine. There are sports after pacemakers!
