Right you are, MontyJ. It is NOT an inter cranial device as was suggested -- not that I couldn't use one from time to time.MontyJ said:I had to look up ICD myself. Implantable cardiac defibrillator. Wow Red! Take it easy and worry about the garden later. Let DH cook and wait on you hand and foot. A few weeks ought to do it
I had the ICD since March of 2008 when the doctor talked me into it for CHF (congestive heart failure). I'm not sure I needed the ICD at the time as I had no symptoms of CHF as long as I took my medications, but I suppose he scared me into it rather than talked me into it.
It seems that for me the battery had a life of 5 years and needed replacing within a month or so. I chose before getting into the chaos of gardening rather than stop working while the weeds and seeds were actively growing. I think I'm well satisfied with that decision.
DH wait on me hand and foot? You've been out in the sun too long already this year. His mother spoiled him and I fear I took over when I took him away from her. The only thing he can open is a menu. Of course I'm not being totally fair. He will do most anything I ask, but I seldom ask him for household help since he works so hard outside.
Slept surprisingly well last night and didn't need any pain meds yet today. I think this is going to be relatively easy-peasy for me to recuperate from.
