Nine weeks ago I was walking the halls of the ICU wing after my open heart operation to show the nurse it was about time for me to be released. Suddenly, the alarm on my attached medical device sounded and the nurse asked me how I was feeling. I felt OK but she suggested that I return to my bed. Two hours later I was in surgery again to have a pacemaker installed.
Yet today, I played my first games (4) of pickleball. As my pacemaker sends data to my doctors, they will notify me of health issues that I miss. Great to be back playing a sport that I enjoy.
