Gotta get this IN my chest

Hello friends... sorry for my absence from posting... I'm never far away... I pray and vibe for you all night and day.
I went to the electrophysiologist at the Allegheny General Hospital in Pittsburgh Pa yesterday... Dr. Bonnett (a cool dude) He wanted to implant the dual lead pacermaker yesterday... But,,, I hadn't made any arrangements for Oscar so I opted for next Wednesday... I can't wait for them to put the thing in... I've always had an attraction to shiny new electronic devices.
The final diagnosis was Mobitz II or AV Heartblock type II... I asked if it was a condition that could be treated with medications only and he did not recommend going that route. (Which is ok by me because I despise taking any type of Medication anyway.. excluding Oxygen @ 15 LPM as needed per CH.)
The device to be implanted sounds snazzy.. it detects body movement and adjusts rhythm according to demand.... it doesn't sound like a complicated procedure and the risks seem fairly limited. They request certain limitations of activities for 4 to six weeks after surgery and I'll never be able to have another MRI again.... but other than that it all seems like a walk in the park compared to CH. (Which by the way have been a real pest lately)
I sooooo look forward to the symptoms going away after the surgery, dizziness, feeling faint, short of breath, and becoming exhausted after very little physical exertion. I'll keep you guys posted and as always you are in my thoughts and prayers.....
with warm regards,
Tony

Religion and sex are powerplays. Manipulate the people for the money they pay. Selling skin, selling God, the numbers look the same on their credit cards. Triptans cause rebounds. Learn it, believe it, live it. I use triptans as the absolute LAST RESORT when treating my CH.

Prayers and vibes going up for you, Tony!! I really hope this brings you some symptom relief and that you're back on your feet in no time!! PF wishes while we're at it!! Not fair for the beast and the ticker to both be getting you at the same time!!
Hugz,
Carrie
P.S. I can't have MRIs anymore either - and we'll both not be able to go through airport security - shall we start a club? hehe

Good Luck with the procedure, Tony. My grandmother had one put in in her 80's as an outpatient. I know this will make you feel much better.

Best of luck, Tony. I don't know anyone who has one, so I can't relate anything personal, but you'll do just fine. Besides, once you have yours, I'll know somebody who has one.

And their harlequin eyes.
The pain they inspire
Draws in harmonica melodies
And the feathers of birds
Which flame up at their touch.
It all comes to light in the sheer
Debonair.
