He had an attack of a racing heart (210bpm) and also had to wear one of those monitor things for 24 hours, which (oddly enough) resulted in them finding his heart rate was actually too slow, so he also has to have a pacemaker. I hope yours has been fitted by now and that you're doing okay with it. Do let us know how it's going! What good fortune that you insisted so strongly on having something done about it. Feeling proper middling is just not good enough, is it?Vallypeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08309284606572565277noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20974756.post-89272751522795285422021-07-19T10:21:23.673+00:002021-07-19T10:21:23.673+00:00All the best for Tuesday Neil, and well done for b...All the best for Tuesday Neil, and well done for being so assertive.

Pacemakers are such a cost effective health solution and it is great that you are getting one fitted pronto - clearly, once they got their a into g and did the investigative work, your need was obvious!<br /><br />All of the people I know with pacemakers are very enamoured of them and their effectiveness. One friend is a sheep dog trainer and triallist (1 l or 2?) and he pounds up and down hills like a youngster with his pacemaker doing a sterling job. He has had a variety of models of them since the mid 1990s and the technology has got smarter and smarter every time. They can now do their own jump start on you - how cool is that?!<br /><br />Looking forward to reading how it all goes - I bet you feel a vast improvement immediately!<br /><br />Cheers, Marilyn McDMarilyn, nb Waka Huiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09485346080040799974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20974756.post-14657046042402938172021-07-19T05:39:46.169+00:002021-07-19T05:39:46.169+00:00Good to hear from you Neil and will the holding yo...Good to hear from you Neil and will the holding you in our thoughts on Tuesday.<br /><br />Very best wishes from George and me. xxxxCarolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18155792486454776550noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20974756.post-62226620877930333092021-07-18T21:45:59.293+00:002021-07-18T21:45:59.293+00:00Good on you Neil, for having a go at the doctors a...Good on you Neil, for having a go at the doctors and making them sit up and pay attention. Great post too! I like the story of you Great Uncle Bert. I am holding you in my thoughts for a quick, clean, straight forward pacemaker insertion and healing. I am looking forward to further posts on this and the difference it makes for your day-to-day living.
