I was told NO electric blankets when you have pacemaker or ICD or any implant. Nothing electrical.

Just read a hand out from Medtronic ( my brand of PM) and it says Most household appliances are safe to use, including
electric blankets, so long as they are kept in good working order......

You know you're wired when...

You have a $50,000 chest.

I am just grateful to God that I lived long enough to have my ICD put in. So many people are not as lucky as us; even though we sometimes don't feel lucky.
