Running w. pacer

After reflecting on member advice and being urged by my anxious wife I decided to skip the 4 mile run this morning. There are more coming next month. Thanks for taking the time to give me the benefit of your experience.

You really get sore

When you first go back to normal athletic or strenuous activity the pacemaker pocket can get really sore. Mine felt like I had a silver dollar in there with jagged edges. Then there was stretching of the scar tissue which hurt too.

Just take it easy until everything heals. I'm sure you'll get back to running as much as you did before.

Hope everything else goes well for you.

We are all different , I really didn't have any soreness in the pacemaker pocket , hope you don't either.

I think you ( and your wife ) made the right decision ; you can't use her as an excuse next month though !

Best wishes

Yesterday I moved to a new place in my mind and realized how bad I felt 'before' and the difference my pacemaker has made.
