Title: OT - Medical update - Just ME...
Post by: Hartley on August 20, 2008, 05:14:49 AM
FYI: I got a fresh brand-new ICD pacemaker yesterday. Hopefully this battery will last longer that 3 years. The old one started running down after 6 defibrillator
shocks. ( not pleasant!!! )

Now to wait to have the other surgery done on reconnecting my colon...
I figure another 3 to 4 months right now.

Good to hear the new batteries are in & working.

Good luck with the other stuff.

Maybe, if the next surgery is successfull, you'll be a prefect . . . . . BUSNUT ;D

Dave,
My dad had major colon surgery recently, (He's 82 and has a pacemaker) and he is a new man!  We have had to encourage him through some down times, and I think an antidepressant has helped, but he's coming along nicely now.  He is back to enjoying his weekly outing to hear bluegrass at the senior center, and getting around without a cane or any assistance, when he just didn't want to get out of bed for a while. 

Be strong, carry jumper cables if you feel the need!
Hang in there.  There is a reason why God doesn't tell us what's in store for us!
