@shortshot80

Hello, I'm shortshot80 and I have had a pacemaker (medtronic) for almost 10 years now, am due sometime I think in the next six months. Perhaps I am fortunate, as have not had any problems with mine. I send a report by phone every three months. So far no problems with it. I however have several other problems. I found out a year ago last January that I have lung cancer in both lungs. Plain lung cancer in the right lung and mesothelioma in the left lung. I just found out last Thursday that both had grow some. My pacemaker is the least of my problems. I also fond I have kidney disease. So I can't leap any more buildings. I just turned (84) yesterday. Everything seems to be a little more scary and I can't make any difference in anything I do. Just visit with my church people and my maker. Have a great day!!!

It comforts me to know that your PM has served you well for 10 years. You have 20 years on me and there are times I dread the thought of replacing the battery and being under restrictions once again. Just a little whine there. I am coming on two years with mine. I am encouraged with the different articles that have caught my eye about pacemakers. I am very thankful having a PM was an option. Happy belated birthday. Thank you for making a difference.
