need input for protective gear

Hi pacers!
I need your input. I am working on a product, along with an athletic trainer, that I made for my daughter who is now eight and has been pacing since she was three. It is a protective device/gear for when she plays sports. It is patent pending and we are in the marketing/devolpment phase. I have brought the product to both of her cardiologists(Columbia Pres. in NYC) and they both encouraged this product. I was wondering if you could give me feed back if you would use/need this typ...

Hello Slowhands....

In reply to your recent post about God.... I must tell you something. You crack me up! You come along and with a straight face (I'm sure) and tell people that you think that God is irrelevant. It takes a lot of guts to say something like that.

Considering you were a Math teacher and are probably a man (if I am mistaken may God please forgive me) your mind runs on a different track than the majority.

Here is my take .... You may voice...

Just so you know, I was have missed you. I hope you have had a beautiful Christmas!

There isn't one of us perfect here. I really c...

SORRY

I'm sorry to Uva. I hope my idiotic behavior does not change your view on this site based on how I acted towards you. This is a great site, full of great people (I'm obviously not one of them right now). I should have talked to you about it first. So I'm sorry, and mean it with all my hole-y heart and pacemaker.

Marisa
P.S I hope you all had a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Wishes for 2008

Hello Friends,

I thought I posted a message 2 days ago but obviously I did something wrong! Sometimes the "techno-challenged" person shows up!

Simply wanted to say Thank You to everyone for the honest, caring, supportive and humorous culture in the Pacemaker Club. This is my respite from the rest of the world. You know, it's kind of like Cheers "where everybody knows your name". I want to go "where everybody knows about pacemakers". I feel immediately connected anytime...

TREASURES

Happy New Year to each and every one of our Pacemaker family. I wish you all improved health and happiness wherever you can find it. As an old girl who went through her entire childnood without a family to call her own this family means a great deal to me. You are among my greatest treasures.

I'm not usually the chattiest of people (until I get going I guess) lol but I would like to share a story with you. I have been a member since just before my PM implant three and a half years ago...

Who would of thought.....

Looking back on my life I was so happy growing up. A very grateful kid to the simplest things. I remember waking up early in the summer mornings. I used to get up and help my Nana with the farm ( May she rest in peace). Working and playing for 10 to 12 hours straight. Not ever worrying about my heart. I used to play all the sports as a kid. Having a heart of a lion and never stopping for anything but a drink to continue my adventures of happiness. Who would of thought in my later years of l...

painful lead

Has anyone ever heard of surgery to reposition leads? The burning pain I described earlier is really bothersome. I don't know how long I can continue tloerating it without it significantly disrupting my life.

Yesterday I moved to a new place in my mind and realized how bad I felt 'before' and the difference my pacemaker has made.
