Although this is not CH related... does anyone here have first hand experience with a pacemaker?
My heart is fucked up and I need to get one. 
Anyone here have any experience they'd like to share?
with warm regards,
Tony

Damn, Tony... sorry about that. I'm so glad you've already made such positive changes in your lifestyle.
You and your bottomless heart are in my prayers. 
love you, nani

Tony,
My Mom and Dad both haveone now. (both in the last three years) Fabulous outcomes! They are both normal and do all the things they used to (w/o their heart slowing down to almost stop)
It will be great!
I'm praying for you!

Tony,
You could also ask for them to check the ching-chang in your walla-walla-bing-bang. 
Best of luck to you, Sweetie. I'm sure all will be fine and you will feel so much better.
Hugs to ya big time.

Pacemakers are pretty cool nowadays.
My moms has an internet connection as well as a phone compatability deal. (really)
She can have the docs read her heart, history, trending etc.. from anywhere in the world.
Only thing hers is missing is GPS so her kids cant find her when she decides to travel the world.
Cant even tell she has one. Can be recharged externally.

Pace makers are pieces of cake these days, minor procedure. Avoid strong magnetic field machines such as MRI once its in situ though.
Praying for you brother but I know you will be just fine !

I know nothing about this, but, my biz partners son had open heart when he was six months old. Again at 12 years old.
Three years ago they had to put in a defribulator, it went off when he was fishing and blew him threw the boat door.....LOL
Hes fine.......what im trying to say Tony is that they have this stuff down, its amazing how far they have come with this........the kid is 30.

It is up to YOU to educate yourself and then help your doctor plan your treatment. If you just sit down in front of your doctor and say "make me better" you are setting yourself up for a great deal of pain.

Tony, I do not know too much about these things but I do know a couple of people who had them and it has done wonders for them. I wish all the same to you. Hope it makes you feel better my friend.

Tony,
Don't know anyone that's had them, but I've taken care of patients with them (when in nursing school, which is the last time I worked with adults), and they were doing much much better once they had it implanted!! I'll be praying for you!!
Eddie - HI!!! Glad you're doing okay and happy to see you back here!!
Hugz to both of you,
Carrie
