pace maker

I had my pace maker put in on 3-11-2010. They started the surgery and 8:50 am and at 10:00 am I was eating cookies and talking to my mother on my cell phone. I was ready to go home but my dr wanted me to stay over night

Welcome to the Pacemaker club! Sounds like you are doing great! Remember to take it easy and keep your arm down. Give yourself time to heal.

I went home the following day. :) I am 2 weeks post op today and feel good, i have my ups and downs, but hey its all a part of the ride right?? Continue to do well qwerty!!!!

GRATITUDES: Super Stories ~ ~

To you Newbies: These comments are the norm for most PM implant patients. You are "in/out", implanted & going home before you can unpack a bag at the hospital. Sweet Dreams.

I read the PM Club "posts" for 5 months before having my ablation PM implant. Some of the "posts" scared me to death with their medical complications and "posts/comments" After being assured by the bestest of the "commenters" that this was not the norm., I had the implant. It was sooooo easy, why did I wait so long? Take the plunge.

Thanks to all of your "good" comments to reassure the newbies to be. Prayers to you who are still having your complications.

Have a Great Spring,

I figure at the next replacement I'm going to insist on having it done early and then walk the 4 miles home afterwards. By then thats what it will take to outdo some of you.

best,

At age 20, I will be getting a pacemaker in few weeks along with an SA node ablation. This opportunity may change a five year prognosis into a normal life span! I look forward to being a little old lady with a wicked cane!
