Best wishes

I can almost feel your fear and wish I could find something positive to say. Unfortunately, you have to play the waiting game for the time being. It may not be as bad as you expect. So, take a step at a time and deal with things as they occur. Theres nothing you can do until you have a clearer picture of the situation. Keep stong, our thoughts sre with you.

Thank you . As you say it's the waiting game and the not knowing what's next .

Last year it was the same . repeated infections in pacemakers and leads. Which led to the trial medtronic leadless defribullator implant .. I thought I was over the worst . I overcame all that and I will do the same with this little beggar ..

It's when you go through so much like you have, that you can either go down hill with depression or try to stay positive even if we don't feel like it. I hope you have a strong family who can support you during this time as it sounds like you need reassurance and build up your confidence as well as your body. You sound as if you have a fighting spirit and I commend you for that. However it is vital to have the mental strength to continue in this way. When we are alone is often the time we let go and be ourselves. But its also a time for thinking possibly negative thoughts. It's during these times you must occupy yourself doing things that take your mind off your problems. Try and get out if you can manage it sometimes. Having a chat with friends can work wonders. Once the picture is clearer you can work out how to deal with the situation. We are here for you to help you keep your positive attitude. Take care of yourself. Chrys

Thank you Chrys. My family are my rock and my husband and I certainly never have to ask .. He is registered blind has heart condition and diagnosed 2 years ago with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis .but we soldier on enjoy life as much as we can .
