I believe there is a misunderstanding. Of course you are welcome to discuss your pets and how they helped you in so many ways.. The topic of this particular discussion is Chest Pain with Pacemaker. We encourage discussions on whatever people wish to discuss. This welcome discussion related to stress reduction, PTSD and other very important issues would be better under a discussion thread about dogs/pets and stress relief. An ICD is a stress maker, yes, readers could be referred to a thread on stress by you. How would people know to read your helpful contributions about dealing with stress and how your deep relationship with your family member dogs was so calming and rewarding under the topic of ICD and chest pain? I hope this clarifies how your thoughtful and helpful post could better reach others. Looking forward to your future contributions!
