The New Energizer Bunny

Well, here I am as good as new and good to go!  I  went through the procedure to replace the battery in my difibulator around 9:30am this morning and we were on our way home around 3pm. Pam knew I was alright when I woke up and asked, "What's  for lunch?" I don't like missing a meal!

I will be on antibiotics for a week and will have to wait three weeks to go back to Cardiac Rehab. 

Thank you all for your prayers.

Replacing the Battery

On Monday, April 12, Pam will be taking me to the Piedmont Hospital on Northside Drive in Atlanta, to have the battery replaced in my defibulator.  It is supposed to be outpatient surgery to remove the old battery that is under my skin on my upper left side and replace it and sew up the incision.
We need to be at the hospital by 7:30am so we should be home late in the day.

Thank you for your prayers that I will not have to stay overnight in the hospital and have a quick recovery and be able to get back to my Cardiac Rehab in 10 days or so.

A Meeting at the Atlanta Airport

Yesterday, Pam surprised me and took me to the Atlanta Airport to see my niece Mary Lee Brown Gorman (my sister Ruth's daughter.)  She was on her way from Colorado on a trip to Paris. We had a nice visit.  This was the first time that Pam had met her cousin.  It is so good to keep up with family.
