This is something I knew was going to happen six years ago. At first it didn't make sense, since I am more athletic today than I was in the military. But you cannot make sense of things all the time and you have to either deal with it or not. I hope to be both a positive contributor and good listener in here.

good luck!

As a newbie, chances are I will be coming here for support.

One Week In

And the bandages are off, all that's left is the skin glue. I still have a skipped beat--maybe one every several minutes. Still, it beats the crap out of a HR under 36 and skipped beats seemingly one out of every 8-10.

No pain, all gain. Loving life.

You know you're wired when...

You have an excuse for gaining an extra ounce or two.

As for my pacemaker (almost 7 years old) I like to think of it in the terms of the old Timex commercial - takes a licking and keeps on ticking.
