Sounds informative.

It might be a little too soon for me since I just had my second implant done last week. They don't get any easier psychologically for me. Since I am a visual person, my imagination went wild because of all I have researched since my first, and I was scared to death of so many things.

I am finally turning the corner today actually , off the pain meds, eating more and pain is subsided. I don't remember the first being as difficult, I also had an upgrade with second wire placed in the opposite side of the heart , so it was a total new implant. Makes me squeemish...I'll get over it, and be a big girl again couldn't have made it without all of your prayers, and all my girlfriends at home.

I hope to see this show you recommended maybe at a later date...ha.

Thank you for the recommendation.

Dear Kardia,

Everyone is different, but I wanted to watch this surgery before I was going to have it last year. OR-live is quite interesting. but you have to make time to sit and watch the surgery.

I got the 3 wire unit implanted last year and what a difference it has made in my life.

Hi,
Would love to watch. OR-Live?-- what network?

Sorry Renate, but it was online yesterday on the website.
