What he got does defibrillation and pacing, it's not a 3-lead one.

He and Mr. Bear were headed out for a walk after we got off the phone, he had been ordered for an extra 2 hours of bed rest after he weight - which was 5 pounds but felt like 50, he says, was taken off. As we spoke, he two hours were up, so he was looking forward to being allowed to walk.
