i'm not sure who this is directed to but I get my pacemaker checked quarterly and see my EP once a year. I was fortunate to have one of the top EP's in the country and I am totally comfortable with our set up.

I go in every 3 months. First blood work. Then 3 months card. Repeat.
Guess I'm lucky, I have had my pacmeaker for 8 plus years, and to add to that this last January I'v been diagnosed with two types of lung cancer/. Plain old lung cancer in my right lung and mesothelioma in my left lung. Have been montored for the past year every three months. Well this month, couple weeks ago my left lung grew some and my left lung hsd more fluid in it. Also at this same time my kidney grew some more crreatin and so working on that. Then macular degeration (sp)has decided to show up. and the in this last four months I have fallen. First was a bad fall on my right artificial knee. Hit hard on tar mack at gas station. Still very sore, next on kitchen floor, landed on my right knuckle, two nights ago, I landed on my right knee on the bedroom floor. Hit my knee again really hard, knee of course doesn't seem to be injured ,, but I can't move my leg sideways at all.. So have called for a doc appt. I might have torn flesh in my leg. which will take a long time to heal.Well along with this I have "shingles" on the same leg from my ankle to the top of my leg and the small of my back. (FUN) I'm 83 and will celebrate 66 years of marriage tomorrow.
You seem really strong. I believe i get your point. Thank you for the input. I will thank the Lord my my many blessings. I will also put you in my Prayers.
Dont know if my response went through. Congratulations on you and your spouses anniversary. I complain constantly about my medical problems. After reading your post , my heart and nerve damage problems seem so insignificant I hate to mention them. You Sir are an inspiration to me amd should be to others. Im 70 years old and thought I was way over the hill
Thank you!
