Big thank-you to Susie53!!
Comments (1)Susan, you are so welcome.. I hope you will enjoy making things for your new grand baby like I have.. Start check the clearance isles at the store for towels marked down. I often find them for less then $2.00. I found a really good deal about a month ago. I bought all colors and now have a stash of about 40 towels on hand. We have a young neighbor couple that are to have twins soon. I am going to make them some bibs and the towel wraps, too. Another tip for a new baby are the orbit labels. Check the inch bug site. They are bands to put on baby bottle and sippy cups. Our DIL had twins and these were a life saver to be able to tell whose bottle was whose. Now they use them on sippy cups. They are great for day cares. All 4 of our littlest grand babies have them in different colors. It is so nice when they are all together because some of their sippy cups are the same. No problem telling one from another.. I bought some for the young neighbors, too. Susie...See MoreSome very sad news
Comments (106)Marie-I am so sorry to hear this. I can't imagine what you are going thru. At least Dale is no longer suffering. My Dad has cancer and hospice has been coming to their house. He is 79 and next June would have been their 60th anniversary. My Mom is really struggling emotionally during this rough time. It so nerve-wracking day to day. Please remember to take care of yourself and just take things day by day....See MoreSusie53gw

Comments (21)Pacemaker implantation is one of the easier cardiac procedures. You will have an incision about 2" in your upper left chest. This incision is where your pacemaker will be placed through to reside under the skin. Before the pacemaker is inserted, they will thread the lead(s) through a vein into your heart and connect the other end(s) to your pacemaker. The lead(s) are what conduct the electrical stimulation from the pacemaker to your heart muscles causing the heart to constrict as frequently as will be determined by your electrophysiologist. The rate will be set to create an adequate frequency of blood flow through your heart/lungs and to return the freshly oxygenated blood back throughout your body. Sorry to tell you, but you can't grab your chainsaw and go cut wood for the winter or go weld up new pipe corner fence posts. I'm sure you had that on your list to do first thing next week, didn't you! Those are usually the only long term restrictions you will have. You will feel so much better and should not be doing any more "face-plants" when you are out and about. It won't take but a short while until you notice that some of your energy that slipped out the door when you weren't looking has returned to you!! You will do good and we will all be expecting to hear from you shortly. Mary ETA: Hope the details don't upset you, but I always, always educated my patients in CCU/MICU so there were no misunderstandings of what the surgery would entail and what their pacemaker would do for them. Will be thinking of you....See More- 4 years ago
