I am just 3 weeks out yesterday and it gets better every day! My dr just cleared me to drive today! I am so excited! I think the more we do everyday the stronger we will get. Also if you bp is too low your energy could be zapped. That is what my dr said. They lowered my cholesterol meds today too? I hope this helps in some way! :)

thanks nancy

Yes my dr said no more restrictions! Time for a normal life again well as normal as I can be. My incision was getting tight also but she said to use neosporine, maderma, or vitamin e.

me too

You take technology to heart.

I just want to share about the quality of life after my pacemaker, and hopefully increase awareness that lifestyles do not have to be drastically modified just because we are pacemaker recipients.
