well, i made it through yesterday

 


Had a pacemaker put in my heart.

it was a little different because they couldn't give me the full anesthesia treatment, so i was awake during the entire procedure.

some pain last night, but the hardest thing is i have to keep my left arm tight against my side. being lifted in and out of a wheelchair with no left arm/hand to guide you is rough. same for trying to position yourself in bed. and as i'm sure you noticed, it takes two hands to capitalize letters on this laptop.

next challenge is march 1, when i find out what they are going to do with this cancer below my right eye.

Hope you feel better with the new pace maker. I bet you’ll have more energy.

Jeez, Frank, hang in there. There are a lot of us rooting for you and hoping that pace maker turns you into the Energizer Bunny (only better looking).

I hope the procedure will relieve some of the health problem you are having. You certainly are a tough old bird! Hang in there, who else would take your place?

If it’s a basal cell carcinoma the Mohs surgery is pretty simple. Hope your pacemaker helps. My mother got one and it really helped her problem she got way more oxygen to her brain.

Sorry to hear you needed a trip to the body shop, but good to hear you're on the mend.
Hope the cancer doc can do you right.

Hope the pacemaker works the magic and you are good as new! Must have been awful with limited anesthesia. Keeping you in my prayers for complete healing.
