I just had it done last week and it went well so far . I’m completely on my pacer . But it is psychological stressful before . I had a hard time thinking that I was ‘pulling the plug on my heart electrical system’ but I feel the best in 5 years . I’m a nurse and that makes it harder . Everyone at mayo was exceptionally great. Tara

Hi Tara. Thanks for telling me you’re doing great now . I can certainly identify with the apprehension and the psychological state before the surgery. I’m a nurse also , and I feel the same way . Maybe we know too much ! Lol. Definitely looking forward to feeling better.
Thanks again, Nora
