Who has lived longest with a pacemaker

Whilst trawling the internet this morning, i found this https://www.pacemakerclub.com/message/8168/who-has-lived-the-longest-with-a-pacemaker

I found this story from 2012 - https://thedailynews.cc/articles/greenville-man-living-a-healthy-battery-powered-life/

Then I wondered if i was near the top of the list for the UK - I had my first pacemaker in the summer of 1976 when i was 7.  However, i found this - https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-humber-20072515 - so a long way to go yet!

Technology is amazing, isn't it? You are for sure up there as one of the longest here, if not the longest. Glad you found us, welcome!

You know you're wired when...

You have a 25 year mortgage on your device.

I've seen many posts about people being concerned about exercise after having a device so thought I would let you know that yesterday I raced my first marathon since having my pacemaker fitted in fall 2004.
