It's good the doctor saw the need for a 3 lead since you are due for a replacement anyway.....one less surgery.  The 3 lead should help your heart muscle pump more efficiently and think of the defib as a back up.  Stay positive!

When is your surgery?

Just thinking about you.  I know it is hard to get news like this.  But I'm so glad you will be protected by your ICD.  Keep us posted

You know you're wired when...

You can finally prove that you have a heart.

I finished 29th in London in 2 hours 20 minutes 30 seconds which is my fastest with or without a device so clearly it didn’t slow me down ! I had no problems apart from some slight chaffing on my scar - more Vaseline next time.
