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
