I am PM dependent. I have been in AFib for almost 14 years. I am 4.5 years into my second ICD (I got 8.5 years out of the first). I am forever grateful that this technology has advanced this far.
The most reassuring asset I have is Ruthie. As a nurse she is a dogged medical advocate and every procedure and consult is under her scrutiny. Twice she cleared unseen roadblocks for me that I missed.
Had I to do it all over again I might go this route.
