Hi Susan, Yes I am finally home. Left the hospital at 3:00 PM and it took my wife about one hour to drive back home. The pacemaker is in and adjusted and fine tuned. Amazing how these work. No more fainting spells which only would last for only 2 seconds so I haven't actually fainted. I was always been able to keep my eyes open and hear as well as even hearing and talking Have some pain where they made the incision but some Tylenol PM should help me sleep, nothing I can't handle.
Thank you for asking about me. 18's, Marty On Mon, Mar 21, 2016 at 7:25 PM, 'Susan Zimmerman' via CMLHope < [email protected]> wrote: > Love you to pieces, Marty! Hope you comfortably home by now.
