At least you won't have too long to wait! Feel free to give me a shout if you have any last-minute wobbles or queries.
Whats icd
Hi Kazza_1, ICD stands for implantable cardioverter defibrillator, it's kind of like a pacemaker with the added ability to shock the heart if it starts misbehaving. A cross between an electronic timer and a taser.
Good luck with everything on Friday, not that you'll need it. You'll be the safest you've ever been with your personal paramedic implanted. Focus on all of the positives to keep the nerves at bay x
Good luck for Friday alexgilbert - keep us posted and don't hesitate to get in touch
