Glad to hear you're ok. My Great uncle had a pacemaker and defibulator implanted.He couldn't be around my place when I was welding,it would set it off and lay him out. So be carefull.

I ain't supposed to be around welding either but I got nobody else to do it for me. Besides, I got the heart attack from shoveling snow an there ain't no snow inside my garage. LOL

Been thru 2 birthdays since my little visit to the hospital with a heart that's blown up so bad they can't do anything for me....Didn't want no machine, didn't want no new heart(their suggestion) no defibrilator(their suggestion) so they said go home, live as peaceful and as quiet as you can for as long as it lasts. Now, their telling me they'll probably be pulling me off the drugs I've been on ever since because all my tests keep coming back with so much improvement, they can't justify keeping me on them and because I've been steadily weaning myself off them over the course of the last 2 two years. I know very well that I could just keel any time, but boys,,,,we could all go the same way!
Take care of yourself, be a little more careful of over doing anything really heavy, but keep on keeping on...
