Scary aren't they? I was in Italy in the sixties around the time of the great Skopje quake and my Dad jumped out of bed and started berating me for all the noise. It was always my fault!

Have a great holiday regardless.

Wow! That would have put me into AF without a doubt !

Enjoy your holiday.....you won't forget this one. Bet you're pleased you were paced and ablated

Have a fantastic break, good to hear about the pacemaker as that is the no 3 on the care plan list that I am about to start. But I have 2 strikes to get through and hopefully they will work. I am sure my red toenails will help! X

Of course they will! X

Well that was a good test.

We had an earthquake in Birmingham (UK) many years ago. My desk wobbled and afterwards, some of the doors in the corridor wouldn't shut.

Wonderful news - the calmness of your heart I mean, def not the earthquake. What an extreme way to find out that your heart is under control lol. Happy hols.

Hi Wendi - So good to hear that your heart behaved during the trauma of the earthquake. I don't think any event could top that! A holiday you'll remember in more ways than one!
