Pacemaker

[Bingo88]

Well this morning the doc came. Said i needed a heart scan to decide which pacemaker i needed. Said he would get it done by the weekend for me. This afternoon came and took me on the bed at 15-30. Had my scan then went straight into theatre to fit my pacemaker. By 6 o clock was back on the ward walking around. And going home tomorrow. Thanks for all your messages and support. Hope you all have a good weekend while its dry. BRIAN

[jackdup]

Wow how amazing what they can do in such a short time and then send you home the next day. I hope it helps how well you feel.

[Bingo88 in reply to jackdup]

Yes feel good. Just a bit sore. Obviously. With a pulse of 28. Should of been keeled over when i came in. Instead of walking around. Just sad we been waiting over 5 hours now for Discharge paperwork. And meds. Have a good weekend. BRIAN

[jackdup in reply to Bingo88]

Still amazed you could function with a pulse that low but the body is really amazing at adapting and adjusting. Hope you have a good weekend as well and no issues with the pacemaker.

[Bingo88 in reply to jackdup]

Yes the Doctor came. And said you look remarkably well for a big guy. With a pulse of 28. Going down to 21 while i was asleep at night. Thanks jackdup. Home now. Carried my holdhall all the way from the ward to my wifes car. No Breathlessness at all. Before the pacemaker. Without carrying anything. Would have stopped at least 2 times. Hope you have a lovely weekend BRIAN

[jackdup in reply to Bingo88]

Wow that is wonderful.

[Bingo88 in reply to jackdup]

Yes it is. Thanks. I know its early days. But feel as though i am back to pre pacemaker needed speed. Just keep positive. Now. Hope things are not too bad for you too Jackdup

[jackdup in reply to Bingo88]

I’ve been better but could be worse

[Bingo88 in reply to jackdup]

Guess we will all have good days. Main thing is we are here to support each other. When we have an off day. Getting things off your chest and mind helps too. Hope u enjoy the weekend Sun. BRIAN

[jackdup in reply to Bingo88]

Thanks, you too.

[Dedalus]

That was quick. Great result. Home tomorrow - brilliant! Hope you're feeling the benefit of the procedure soon. Take things easy for a while. All best wishes.

[Bingo88 in reply to Dedalus]

Thanks Dedalus. Home for 18-30. Ready for the weekend. Hope you enjoy it too. Will heed the warning thanks to take things easy. The wife will make sure i do anyway. BRIAN

[Catfinger77]

Very glad your procedure went well! I have emphysema and my 9 Ball team and I were in Las Vegas a few weeks ago for the world pool championships. We lost but walking around the area (108 degrees) I overheated and dehydrated which made my BP and heart rhythm go wild, so they hospitalized me at a wonderful Medical Center near LV called Spring Valley MC and they decided to put in a pacemaker. Interesting because a few weeks after the procedure, my breathing has improved campared to before the pacemaker. Makes sense since the heart is working better now so more oxygenated blood is pumping, I guess. I think my Guardian Angel decided Las Vegas was the place for the procedure.
