@mmm123 hello, my recovery has been pretty good, actually. It’s now been a full week since the procedure, and I’ve been feeling well enough to work from home for the past few days. I’m still in some pain at the incision site for the generator, but I’m managing it with Tylenol. The biggest adjustment for me has been getting used to the generator, because it bulges from my left side. I have an S-ICD (subcutaneous), which only has one lead, that I do not notice at all. Hope this helps.
