Heart Defibrillator

I am pleased to say I had a defibrillator inserted today. I give thanks to God all went well and I am resting in the hospital overnight for observation.

  1. Congratulations, your attitude is great. Living with a CRT-D is interesting. Many great improvements in these devices over the years.

    1. Thank you for chiming in. How long have you had your defibrillator? Was there a transition period? Morgan (heart-failure.net Moderator)

    2. Thank you for sharing your incredible story. I am glad that you found a place of peace with your device, and feel like they have improved, but I am sorry to hear of your experiences when it was implanted and managed post implantation. I agree, there can be some incredible doctors and some incredibly disasters medical professionals as well. I am truly glad that you are at peace, though. Morgan (heart-failure.net Moderator)

    1. Congratulations! I hope that you are resting and recovering well. I see that this was written 7 days ago so I'm guessing that you're already home. How are you feeling since the procedure? -Olivia
