HI

Hi PM Pals

It is a lovely sunny day here in Tasmania. My dog is happy and Brian's eye condition seems to be improving, my depression is lifting. We all have so much to cope with. When you recieve a PM it is such a shock. It is like you are clutching at straws for confidence and support. Let us all support and love one another. It would be a very boring world if we were all alike - like clones. This site is my lifeline to the world. I log on twice a day. I am so thankful to Bl...

Scared

Hi

I have just had a pacemaker fitted four days ago. I am 56 and had a resting pulse rate of 30 at night. The cardiologist thought that this would make my life better. The pacemaker was set at 60 b.p.m. resting.

I cannot get use to my heart being fast and this has made me very anxious.

Anyone else out there feel the same

Oh my goodness!

I was off line for a few days, and I was also dismayed at yet another problem going on. I read posts for a long time before joining the club to get information about my pacemaker. I had some unique problems and I was looking for information. Honestly, I hesitated to join, because at the time it seemed like there were a few "popular" members who used this forum to carry on some personal issues that had very little to do with the intent the club was based on. This should not be a chat line for the...

Messages?

Considering how "upset" Elisa apparently is....

I would like to actually "see" the nasty messages. I am a skeptic and I think way too much attention has been placed on something that no one but Elisa has seen. Messages/words can be interpreted in many ways. Maybe Elisa didn't understand the meaning?

All I said was (in open discussion) was that I was not on board with her idea. Also that I would agree to disagree. Where is the problem?

I have never sent he...

It's dry and cold here and tonight I got a big shock when I touched the fireplace. Anyone know if that can cause damage to my PM?

TV Receivers

Can the remote TV device that operates on radio waves to change tv channels effect your pacemaker? My tv receiver is a dual unit to operate two tv's. Any information is appreciated.

Jack

I regret so deeply that I did not log into this group while Jack was going through his difficulties. I know now that he was not alone and not to believe doctors that tell you "everything is fine...it takes adjusting" I blame myself for not being more determined to get to the bottom of Jack's problems. If only I had you guys to talk to..... your discussions would have given me the courage to demand answers and actions. God bless one and all. Jack's wife

18 to 24 months!


Hello everyone, I have had a Cardiologist checkup today. It appears that I have 18 to 24 months left on this pacer.....

The Doc looked a little sad as he shared this news with me. I thought uhmmmmm.... well my day has not gone as I had hope. Really feeling sad. uhmmmm So I smiled at the doc (he is sort of cute) and said "YOO HOO!" That's great news! He look a bit bewildered! I laughed and said. "Well at least I have another 2 years on this model." Maybe the new one will...

Lenora----return to sender?

Hi,
to all... especially Lenora's friends!!
I had a Card today returned form the states which I sent to Lenora.... with a message Return to sender "Vacant" unable to forward..... As a Uk resident I can only assume that means she has left that address and no farwarding address is available.
Please correct me if I am wrong.....
My guess is that she moved North to be with her Sons...I 'm sure she knows we still think of her; and wish her the best of health and happiness........a...

tiredness

Hi PM Pals

Does anyone out there suffer from extreme tiredness. I just can't seem to shake it. It is worse when I sit down to the computer. I know they say blue is a relaxing colour but the energy seems to just drain out of me. My blood test was ok with just a rise in iron level. My ecg showed no further changes. My doc rang me last night. My only conclusion is that it is the heat (it is summer here) or I am just getting plain old and worn out. My brain is so active but the bod...
