Battery replacement

Hi all. The time has come to replace my battery. I use 69% and the cardiologist persuaded me and I go to hospital Tuesday 3 June. Many of you will recall that I didn't want a replacement. However the Dr, like yourselves, said that the pacemaker improves my quality of life and not having it will just make me feel as awful if not more awful than before. He also said that my gout isn't caused by the meds rather by the coke that I suddenly developed a craving for the last eight months. I hope you'll all wish me well for Tuesday.

So glad you are going to get a replacement.

Of course you are nervous, it's only natural but you'll be ok.

Just think....come Tuesday evening, the surgery will be behind you...almost there.

I'm flying to the USA 16 June for a month to Oregon so the Dr said I must do this replacement before then.

Gook luck

Thank you so much. I know it's simple but I'm still nervous.

Hope all goes well for you. From what I hear putting in a replacement PM is pretty simple.

Let us know how it goes
