had my first checkup

Hi all
well as the title says I went for my post op checkup
they did an ECG test and then the PC tech laid a do nut
shaped ring on my chest over my heart and checked with a laptop and told me it was all within tollerances then said can you feel this he said it is like a mobile phone
well My PC/DF vibrated and I nearly jumped off the bed
he told me if I felt that to call the doc and if it went off two or three times call an ambulance
the doc took of my dressing and said it was healing nicely
also getting to use my arm again
thanks for all your answers

Sounds like they were willing to take the time to show you what to expect and when it was important.

We could all wish there would be more of that.

Of course if there was we wouldn't need the Pacemaker Club so it's just as well that some of our doctors are cluts.

lol

Thanks for that Frank and a big thankyou for your advice on power tools
I will be giving my arc welder and my mig welder to my son for his garage
the rest of the tools I will keep thanks to your advice

That sounds reasonable

You could probably get away with the welders if they were critical to you, but why worry about them otherwise.

have fun,

You know you're wired when...

Bad hair days can be blamed on your device shorting out.

I've seen many posts about people being concerned about exercise after having a device so thought I would let you know that yesterday I raced my first marathon since having my pacemaker fitted in fall 2004.
