Dear all
Its so nice to find this group, I had my ICD fitted in February 2009 so it is
still fairly new and very strange, the pain has almost gone from the implant
area now, but mentally I think its going to take a while to get my head round
the situation!!!

I have had Cardiomyopathy for the last twelve years and have been very lucky
because apart from having to take a truck load of tablets it hasn't really
affected my life, until Friday 13th Feb (of all days) I had a cardiac arrest,
was promptly taken to A&E where I had another one so was swiftly moved to the
Coronary Care Unit where I had yet another one but this time fortuanately I was
hooked up to all sorts of monitors so the doctors were able to tell exactly what
was going on.

Anyway to cut a long story short a few days later I had the ICD fitted and am
now trying hard to get back to normal, but its really reassuring from various
messages that I have read that this can take quite a while and I am not alone in
having these feelings!!!
Any comments from others would be most appreciated
Regards
Sue
