Pacemaker at Laundramat

Have had pacemaker for a week.  Medtronics but have not yet received card with all identifiying info. 

Anyone know or have experience with problems while washing/drying clothes in a sizeable laundramat?  Just seems there are a significant number of electrical motors all running at once in such an establishment.  Thanks in advance!

The huge generators at a power plant.  Walking through a substation (where all the power lines converge entering and leaving town, lots of transformers and other things on the ground).  Those be careful of, hugging transformers, yeah dont do that.  Will just confuse the pacer and you will feel it or pass out, then when clear of the field it works fine again.

 

Laundromat, microwave at the mini mart, coffee maker, lawn mower.  All fine...

Thanks

My pacemaker was installed in 1998 and I have not felt better. The mental part is the toughest.
