They ALL seem to LIE about that ...
Friend got a PaceMaker installed ... when she was LEAVING the Hospital ...
they gave her an "Informational Briefing" and a book ...

"Things You'll No Longer Do ..."
* Drive a car for 3-6 months (might tear the leads out of position)
* Operate a chain saw (didn't bother Shirley too much)
* Hold you cell phone to your Left ear
* Be careful around Airport Security / Metal Detectors
* and a Lot of other "little things" ...

She was kinda *pi$$ed* that nobody had ever "mentioned" these things BEFORE
the procedure was done.

Be sure you know (they should give you a wallet card)
* Who the Manufacturer is
* Device Model Number
* Device Serial Number

Get on the I-net and find the Manufacturer's web site - thay all have one -
then sign up for their Info Packet on JoJoe's particular Model.
They'll probably feed you more information than you Doctor will.

Also watch for Safety & Recall or Service Bulletins - doctors usually don't pass along
any but the most serious "warnings" - they don't wanna "scare" the patients.
