Congratulations.......The Lord has helped you recover! Don't know how old you are but that doesn't matter....My dad had heart trouble, but wouldn't do anything about it. He died at 73. I did not have any problems like you. Mine were small almost missed the signs. I saw my doc in a 2008 visit told me I needed the pace maker. Might just as well do it now and get it over with. I will be 87 next month and have had 35 different surgeries. Not proud of that but I'm still alive and have the two different kinds of Lung cancer. The Lord has been my friend for a very long time!Nancy )shortshot80)
