About every three months a guy from the manufacturing company runs a check on it to make sure it's still operational. That happened today. No problems. Everything intact and working correctly. He did say that the machine indicated I had no natural heartbeat. I responded to that with "let's be sure we keep that pacemaker working then."
Frequently the medics ask me if I feel better. I always say the same thing. I never even knew I had the atrial fibrillation before it was diagnosed and nothing has made me feel any better.
The guy who checked me today said "in this business, no news is good news."
So I keep on (artificially) beating along.
All of which reminded me of this band.
I don't know whether any of those young men have ever had heart problems that caused them to have pacemakers installed.
But they sure have gotten older.
Same band, same song . . . different era.
Ouch! You take care of that 'lil contraption. Thank goodness for technology, huh?
ReplyDeleteI love seeing these before and after videos. I find it interesting to see how people age.
Take care.

Bruce, keep on ticking.

ReplyDeleteanother great "talk up" to the tune!
The Beat Goes on---indeed!
Keep that think running.
I'm glad that you have such a positive attitude about this. I, for one, want you to keep on trucking, as we used to say, and keep on ticking.
ReplyDeleteI have had 4 bouts of atrial fib and lucky for me mine converted back to normal sinus rhythm. I know the very second I go into atrial fib and I know the very second when it subsides. Awful. I had it converted back twice in the ER and that was no damn joke...
ReplyDeleteTake care of that ticker man!
So glad you have a pacemaker too keep you with us! AF made me feel dreadful, but seems to be controlled with drugs.
