Its A Time To Appreciate...
..this life you, and everyone else you love lives. During a visit to a cardiologist today, I was informed that I will need to have a pace-maker installed as soon as this coming Monday. I am a 26 year old man. I am healthy. I do not have high blood pressure, any kind of heart problems, no previous health problems, and a clean slate for all blood work that has been done. I have actually baffled doctors with my case. Do you know about the involuntary electrical pulse that tells your organs in your body to do what they do on their own? Well mine isnt telling my heart to beat... at random. After the surgery, God willing, all will be fine with me. I just wanted to take a moment to share with my "second family" in hopes to inspire some to remember or even discover/rediscover what this time of year means. Thank you all for reading and I wish you all here a loving, merry holiday season. Sub-compacts! FTW!

Don you are in my prayers. Sincerely the Cardiac Doctors today are great. I had 6 heart attacks and not have stents in my heart. It really does not matter on the why it happens but it can be fixed!
Move forward with this and you will not even realize the change. This will enhance your life. Hang in there brother.

Please...please let us know how you are...as soon as you possibly can next week.
I don't need a Christmas wish this year...I just pray your surgery is a success and you have a quick recovery.

I will tell you to follow the Doctors instructions to the letter. They do not give awards to people who tough it out. You will do fine...... get some serious rest.

We are all thinking of you. They can fix pretty much anything these days. I mean they gave some lady a new face. I saw it on the news today, this heart thing should be a piece of cake. Plus you are young and strong and should recover quickly. If anyone asks, just say you are getting a supercharger. I understand those are pretty awesome.
Seriously all the best. Keep us posted. Cindy |

It's a pretty stunning situation for a 20-something to be in, but be glad that you know what's going on and that it can be fixed. My wife had a friend in college who just up and died one day from some mysterious heart problem. You've been given the gift of advance notice. Rock on, my friend!

Saw a lot of folks die at work over the years, mainly from codes. So I know what gets folks hurt in medical settings - ignoring the doctor and sometimes being too agreeable.
Try to follow the Doctor's advice and directions, but be ready to challenge or question anything that does not make sense to you. When it comes to patients the ones who refuse to listen to doctors die first, then the nice patients and finally the miserable nitpicking nasty folks survive for a long time. We had one patient who the Nursing Staff swore had a case of Vaginum Dentata (her thing had teeth) because she was so demanding of them. However she survived far far longer than she would have had she been agreeable. Good luck to you, Don. Gene |

Wow, that is really amazing to hear from a healthy someone in his 20's like you.
I wish you the best in getting through this, and I shall pray for you to have the strength to go through what appears in front of your path right now. Please report back here and follow all of your doctor's advice. Even if he tells you you have to poop everyday at exactly 2:49AM for a month, do so. Best of luck |

Yeah i watch house a lot... Wish he was real =(.. I have a similar case.. i have 20/20... sorta... I have CNVM which is common with older (40+) patients with diabetes. I of course am 19, no diabetes.. No problems at all, just a healthy teen =).. So out of one eye i see sort of a black hole, its black and starts to fade as it moves out but just blurs everything around the point. My other eye is perfectly fine though. So Both eyes working together give me perfect vision and i dont even see any black.
