About like the second one

After the first which requires placing the leads the rest is easy until you wear them out.

In case you didn't know about it with the last one, it helps to sleep on the side opposite the pacer and put a pillow in front of you to support the upper arm. I got a good nights sleep after both my implant and replacement using this method. Didn't even need pain meds.

good luck and let us know how it goes,
