Monthly pacemaker checks

Does anyone have their pacemaker checked via computer. I have a nurse from a hospital call and we do a check over the phone. Just wondering about the new technology.

I do a great deal of traveling in our rv. So I do get checked by phone and appt. but usually only every three months. It is quite easy except for finding a phone that is a land line. Most of the rv parks are cooperative and helpful, but once in a while, they do not have land lines and I have to reschedule until I can find one. it is quiet easy and I have no problems as long as I follow instructions. Like no tv on nearby. In fact, the instructions are on the inside of the top of the connection box. computers are not involved on my end. just a simple box and magnet. the techs are very helpful and understanding. If you have any specific questions, feel free to contact me in private message..Ann

Your pacemaker interferes with your electronic scale.

A pacemaker completely solved my problem. In fact, it was implanted just 7 weeks ago and I ran a race today, placed first in my age group.
