Every six months..yuck
#1
So every six months I have to go into my cardiologist to have my pacemaker checked. I would love to do the phone checks, but my insurance would not cover it, so we decided to do it this way. I hate it because my appts are always at 9:00 am and I just don't feel good for the rest of the day! This is the first time I have been on here today, and definately no sewing at all. A perfectly good day wasted. :(
Well, just wanted to vent, know I have to have it but sure don't have to like it! Guess tomorrow is another day..and I hope I feel better!!! Night all, thanks for letting me get that out of my system!! :?

When my Nana had a pacemaker inserted... AS they were doing the procedure, she asked the doctor for a 30 year warranty. Not good to make the doctor laugh during a procedure. LOL. I think she was 70 at the time. She has had it replaced once and she is doing great at 94!!

I hate it when they play with the speed on mine. I really hate it when they race my heart. But, I don't seem to have any long term effects from it. Within 10 minutes or so I feel pretty much back to normal. My cardiologist said they don't do the phone checks with the newer pacemakers. I know my Mom did phone checks with her first one, but not with her second. Hope you feel better tomorrow.
