@cheftom Welcome to Connect! You will soon have a CRT-D that will make you a bionic man! What symptoms have diminished the quality of your life? How did your doctor determine that you would benefit from such a device? I have a Medtronic ICD, I acquired Buddy (yes, it has a name), after a septal myectomy for HCM (hypertrophic cardiomyopathy). My lucky heart underwent the trauma of surgery resulting with an electrical complication. You have such a positive outlook and are looking forward to feeling better. Mayo at Jacksonville is a Center of Excellence (COE) and you will be receiving excellent care. Here is a link that you may like to read about your device and the upcoming events. https://www.mayoclinic.org/tests-procedures/cardiac-resynchronization-therapy/pyc-20385014. Please do keep in mind that we are all different and that is reflected in our care and how we feel during recovery. Let us know your procedure went, what tips you may have for others and how you are feeling. There is that recovery time, please listen to your body and your professional medical team to regain the stamina you look forward to having without undue complications. I just found this discussion which you may find helpful: https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/resources-for-outpatients-staying-on-the-mayo-campus/
