DeltaBluez Tess Posted April 19, 2012 Report Share Posted April 19, 2012 ......some of you folks know but not all...I had an unsuccessful heart procedure in Feb. Then last Friday, I had two more heart procedures. One was an ablation and the second was was to put in a pacemaker. My heart rate was at 39 beats per minute and I had atria flutter. I was tired all the time and by the afternoon, my brain had shut down. My health was starting to go and they decided these surgeries should fix them. They are not sure about the ablation but think will will hold. And if not, the flutter can be suppressed by meds. As for the pacemaker, I see a huge difference already. My heart rate is 50 beats at rest and when I check it is around 55-60. When I wake up I am no longer tired. The dark circles are gone from under my eyes. If you want to read the progress go to my blog. It's too late for me to type all what has transpired. http://deltabluez.blogspot.com/ The Doc said I should not be tired and be sassier...seriously, sassier.....that will be hard to imagine but I will try to live up to his expectations. I am enjoying life right now and it's good to be back! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't strain yourself trying to do something that comes oh so naturally to you. It's so obviously genetic, cuz; I figured that out in just a few moments. The shocker is, it is just like my other Pagel relatives. Happy to hear you're feeling better. Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeltaBluez Tess Posted April 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2012 I set up my blog to auto post on the day of the surgery. There was no way I would be able to blog and I guess that night when Jeff (spouse) and my friends came to visit, I was pretty loopy. Getting better but today was a bad day.....just got up and in a lot of pain. It's part of the healing process, I guess and tomorrow will be a better day. It's nice to cuddle with the four girls and they have been quite good. But I am sure they will be ready for some sheep time soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
