Three years ago yesterday, my dad got his pacemaker.
The doctor came in his room before surgery and said it was going to be a piece of cake because he just watched a Youtube video on it and he's ready. |

this same doc did the original in December of 2012, so his memory should be pretty fresh.

Also, did you get a quote from Sea Six? I'm told he does medical stuff like that for half price. |

doc said that they got good pricing on the Medtronics if they used them for the large majority of their pacemakers (volume discount). also, this model was recalled a few years ago for potential battery failure. it had the potential to go to zero power with no notice. much like some cell phones do (my last iPhone did that, could not hold a charge anymore). my battery did not fail, but it's near the end of it's battery life, and they want to slip me in before the expected peak in Covid cases happens in mid-May. |

About a year ago I spent an afternoon and the next morning digging a ditch. A few months later the pacemaker tech asks “what were you doing on these two days?” Digging a ditch. Busted. “Ok, we’ll put that down as exercise”
