RECOVERY
I am slowly recovering but already sensing the difference with my new mechanical attachment called a pacemaker! It was really a pretty easy procedure/surgery. I didn't like being strapped to the surgery table though. That was a little nerve racking. But they gave me the drugs and I was a happy camper. They put a tent like thing in front of my face and around the rest of me. It was kinda weird. They made an insertion in my left shoulder. It took little under an hour. From what I'm told. Mom, Carl, Aunt Laura, Aunt Beth and Carl's family all waited in the waiting room for news from the Dr. Who came out smiling and said everything is fine. It was pretty easy for the most part.
It's very sore, I have to wear an arm brace for a few more days then limit my arm movements for about a week or so. But the improvement in my energy level and my breathing is immensely better! I don't feel out of breath after walking or talking on the phone. It's wonderful. Sleep! I Sleep now! It's a good sleep! I love that! Now if I could just get off the meds! It's really good!

Great big ((hugs)) to you! I'm sorry I haven't been around for encouragement, but you're in my prayers.
Have a very happy Thanksgiving!!
