Thank you so much for taking the time to respond to my post. After reading your post, I’m feeling less anxious about the procedure that’s scheduled for June 16 a week from today. It really helps to hear from someone who has gone through the procedure.
I’m a very active 75 year old woman and I hope I’ll be able to return to my fitness classes in 4-6 weeks. In the meantime, I’ll get my exercise walking around the neighborhood.
Thank again.
Best,
Mary

@mbaisley Checking the calendar, looks like tomorrow is your big day for your pacemaker placement! If your experience is anything like mine was, ( and I hope it is!) you can look at this date as a new beginning, of sorts, as you regain your stamina and energy with a heart that'll beat appropriately to supply your circulatory needs. My pacemaker was implanted on June 12, 2019, and I label that date as the beginning of my feeling like a human being again- hard to believe it's been 7 years since I got that pacemaker.
So I wish you the very best, with minimal pain and anxiety, and not needing too many adjustments to optimize the pacemaker's activity for you, as you become accustomed to your new electronic "friend" and beyond. Any questions or comments you may think of, ask away, and if we can't answer them, we can at least commiserate! Good luck! Mary
