I'll be brief. I had a pacemaker installed on June 23rd. Having been a jock all my life, I couldn't figure out why I was winded running on my Florida Panhandle Gulf Coast at sea level. Anyway...it cost me 2 1/2 days of work, and now I'm back to running/walking 3-4 miles on demand...usually in the evening. I haven't been at this much peace for many years. True priorities, all of a sudden, come into the picture, and not much else matters. Here's a couple of funny tidbits: I was wide awake and alert after the one hour procedure. My nurse asked me if I wanted to watch television on the one channel. It was The Learning Channel. What was on? Open Heart Surgery. I had the best time reminding all of my nurses on all three shifts that not one of them knew the difference between an oral and rectal thermometer until I told them. That difference, of course, is "the taste".
