Do you have a "Merlin," a box that receives data from that pacer? My relative has one. It downloads info from the pacer in the middle of the night, sends it to the doctor, so if something serious is going on, the doctor is made aware of it.

I'm sure my wife would look at me sideways if I were to try to kiss you.

about 18-24 months of battery life remaining. so maybe next year, or certainly the year thereafter will be new battery pack.

Congratulations on living bionically.

My dad's pacemaker was installed visibly on his left shoulder, a great feature for showing off to female police officers that immediately would become ill at the thought, and hurry him through the roadside stops frequent in Canada, without even checking his license (which had expired for a period of time).

(posted in case this becomes useful information for others).
