    Lots of prayers and good wishes coming JoJoe's way. Is he having the surgery in Findlay?

    Looking forward to that pizza date could just keep minds preoccupied and less worried

    Seriously, prayers and healing thoughts coming your way. Hope all goes well with the procedure (then you can order extra toppings )

    Yup! Findlay has a very good heart surgeon (he moved here last year, wife's family is in Tiffin).
    Lady's Human - Thanks for the tip on the nurses - I'll keep an eye out! Maybe if I hide it in a plain brown bag, she won't notice?

    Will be keeping JoJoe in our prayers, Pat! If you need anything let us know. However, I would rather not drive to Tiffin to get your pizza for you tomorrow night. My parents live there and they would be upset if they knew I came to town and didn't stop to see them. LOL.

    Thanks for all your prayers, everyone. Everything went well, I stayed till I could "feed" the patient (no, it wasn't pizza) and will go back in few hours. He's in a cardiac unit, so the visit times are very short. Isn't it cute when guys are all helpless, drugged up & groggy? I'm sure he'll sleep all day. I'll bring him home tomorrow.
    Turned out he had occasion to travel to our favorite pizza place Thursday, so we got to eat pizza together this week after all! Going back to smuggle in that Frosty later.

    THANKS, God - for the "everything went well" part!

    Did they Turn it ON, yet?
    Test it?

    Prayers for a Quick Recovery!

    Yes, his doctor said they set it off to test it. He doesn't remember anything, which is probably good. The only question I had before this procedure was "is there anything to be careful of so it doesn't go off accidently?". They said no, they program the computer chip in it especially for his data. They did say to avoid powerful magnets, and "NO MRI's, the magnetic field in those will try to suck it right out of your body!"

    They said no...


    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.

    Keeping you and JoJoe in my thoughts.

    so relieved that this ordeal is over!!!
