Lead replacement recovery

Hi all, 

I'm new on here and relatively new to the pacemaker deal. I just have a couple questions and I wanted some opinions. I just had my pacemaker placed this year at the end of July, and I guess there was something wrong with where the lead(s) were placed or they have moved and so I have an appointment coming up to go in and move or replace them. I was just wondering what the recovery was for this type of thing. I know the recovery after getting the actual pacemaker, and I'm getting my Masters and I'm also a softball coach so it's not the most ideal thing to not being able to raise my arm for a month. So, I was curious if anyone had any answers for me! 

Thank you guys !

You are going to feel better a lot faster this time because they will go in the same place, but unfortunately the restrictions on movement are going to start over again.

Since I got my pacemaker, I don't pass out anymore! That's a blessing in itself.
