Glad to help in anyway. It is why MCC is here to share your experiences with others.

Todays ICD/Pacemakers have gone through so much upgrading and what they can be programmed to do is just amazing.

I assume your pacemaker is under your skin. Is that correct? Mine is under my chest muscle. My EP said I did not have enough skin in chest area as since I was so active he wanted to place below my chest muscle. So you can see after 3 surgeries it involved not only opening skin but opening chest muscle.

But I am fine and have got used to my old buddy being in my chest and helping my heart every day.

Do you have just a pacemaker or a ICD/Pacemaker?
