Hi everybody
I am joining because I have had a ICD for 16 years, and I have had three ICDs in that time. I have had several episodes in that time but I really believe that the ICD saved my life. I am 77 years old.
I just want to tell people that in time youy come to accept the ICD and after a time hardly think about it at all.

That was an encouragement to me. I don't have an ICD - yet. I have a feeling that it may be in my future but until then, I enjoy hearing positive experiences like yours.

Thank you so much!

Thanks bribet

This really means a lot specially to the ones who are motivating themselves for the first time implants. Your comments are very valuable and really help for people like me.

Wish you happy life with your life saving friend.

Thank you...

Bribet...........this was nice to read, knowing that I will be getting an ICD inserted very soon. Thank you.

You know you're wired when...

You are always wired and full of energy.

I have had my pacer since 2005. At first it ruled my life. It took some time to calm down and make the mental adjustment. I had trouble sleeping and I worried a lot about pulling wires. Now I just live my life as I wish.
