It Works!

My Medtronic’s pacemaker was installed about 19 months ago at age 70. The operation was in the evening and the next day I left the hospital with my diner as a “take-out”. At the time of the operation my pulse rate was around 50 and at my last check up, the pulse rate without the unit was under the chart. The upper chamber is at 99.9% and the unit is set at 60.

I live in Florida and play golf three times a week and start usually just before noon and play until 3:00P.M. Two days a week, I hit golf balls on the range in the afternoon using a 5-gallon bucket filled with balls.

My experience thus far have been just been great and without any problems regarding it. At this point, if I did see it while shaving, I would not know that I had it. BTW, I also have asthma.

You want to be more carefull mate you could get a hernia or something worse,... hitting golf balls on the driving range with a 5-gallon bucket filled with balls must be very difficultl!... most of the golfers I know use a driving wood

hahaha sorry that was a good one Iron. Sounds fantastic cyclone, so glad your doing so well, Im really enviouse that you can play three times a week, wish I could but that would break my bank account, costs to much around northern indiana to play that much. or my wife would unplug my defib.

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