I haven't been around since Monday night. Here's what happened

[Can-Con]

Hight BP. a month ago at my regular prescription renewal I mentioned to the Doctor my pulse was running slow, around 40-45 BPM so he scheduled an MRI which I went for Tuesday afternoon [after walking over 2 miles at work that morning]

Well they really didn't like that heart rate [35-40 at the time] and kept me in. Not a plumbing problem but the signals from the top of my heart weren't getting to the bottom 1/2 correctly. Been that way for over a year, apparently. So now I have a spanking new pacemaker , not the Peterbilt kind either.

SO, now have a month off work to recuperate. Unfortunately no driving for a couple weeks either.

Wow, that’s fairly quick service. I wish you all the best going forward Steve.

Wow. Really glad you're still ticking.

Problems with the central pumping system can be kinda unnerving.

Wife had a somewhat close "incident": went to the hospital for an unrelated matter, passed out briefly and walked out 3 days later with a pacemaker. Couple friends were admitted for "not feeling really well". They got quad bypasses...

Thanks guys. Yea, I guess you really never know until it happens. 

I think this means we should just build what we want and have some fun while we can. 😄

Hi Steve!

Hope all that will be just a bad memory soon. Try to make the most of your resting period.

I had the opposite issue a couple years ago. TOO fast a heart beat. I had an ablation done, stayed the night in the hospital. Been fine since.

Hello, Steve!

I am so glad they caught it in time.

Take it easy and follow the Doctor's Orders.

You be back to your old self in no time.
