That's a new one! The only challenges I've had were the rubbing of my bra strap over the pacemaker. I solved that by buying a little triangle of cloth that was very smooth and easily attached to the bra. I don't need it anymore. I finally discovered why I was getting pains in my chest--wearing my purse strap on my left shoulder. I either carry my purse, sling it over my head so that the weight is on my right side. Keep up the biking. I have a mantra. "If you don't move. You don't move." I've just lost my walking companion. A little dog by the name of Miah. My granddaughter is encouraging me to get another. If your pacemaker is moving around, I suggest that you get it checked. The last thing you want to happen is to get those wires loose. Good luck!

@elizadolittle i have a new walking companion--sort of! Little Molly is a Pomeranian!. She's 6 months old and doesn't fit my criteria for adopting a dog. I found the perfect dog. He was a rescue, non-shedding, 4 years old and he liked me. His owner was giving him up because he was afraid his son would hurt him. The owner changed his mind 3 times! Then a couple of rescue organizations refused to let me adopt due to my age. They don't say that in so many words. "Sleeping beauty" needs a home and she would be great for a senior. I bit.

Little Molly is the funniest little dog I've ever had. She makes me laugh and everyone I tell that she doesn't fit my criteria! She just graduated from Beginner Puppy training at PetSmart last Sunday.

I think she had done something to my favourite landline phone. I discovered egg shells in one of her beds. Little Molly is faster than a cat in jumping up on things. She's ruined my crochet hook for the afghan I'm making for my Great Grandchildren!

We're still pottie training. She is very shy around other dogs. I'm taking her to the Small Dog Park close by.

Needless to say, it's no longer quiet in the house and I something to share besides aches and pains with friends. Research shows seniors spend less time in the hospital and live longer. So why do rescue organizations discriminate against seniors when they are looking for homes for needy pets?
