don't worry. It will probable be quicker and easier than when you first had it put in.leads are already there so recovery should be a lot quicker.

easy!

Replacements are super easy! They go in the same place so it's all scar tissue, and assuming your leads are good (they would have told you by now if they were not) all they do is switch out the pm itself so we don't have any of the restrictions we did the first time. I've had 4 replacements now. If I get an early appointment, I'm home fixing my own lunch.

You have rhythm.

Yesterday was my first day mountain biking after my implant. I wiped out several times and everything is fine. There are sports after pacemakers!
