Monday was my CRT-D implant surgery. It's a synchronization pacemaker with defibrillator. It will pace my heart when I go below 60 and shock if I stay above 200. I am sore but doing well. Trying to get used to sleeping like crap again while I heal. :)

They held off installing the pacer as long as possible? I'm guessing on that part of it. I like what you said about the doctor. "We don't know if this will give you energy and well being but here's to something"
Take care.
