Waiting

This is the day my pacemaker will be installed, implanted, or placed in my body to help regulate my heart.

I've been wearing a heart monitor and was able to take it off this morning when I got up. It was uncomfortable and I'm glad it is no longer on my body. The device has changed since the last time I wore one. This model did not have any wires associated with it, but the location and the sticky backing made it feel out of place, but it did work since I was notified when a anomaly happened and now I'm getting a pacemaker.

When I left the doctors office I was under the impression I would spend the night, but after speaking with a nurse at the Hospital about my impending arrival she told me the doctor was showing it as an out patient procedure. So I will be coming home this evening provided no issues arise.

My problem this morning is I can't have any food or drink prior to my arrival (I'm scheduled for 11:30 am) and that's a long time away. I guess I'm fasting today till after the procedure. I probably should do it more often and maybe I'll see some of this weight disappear.

I haven't done anything to speak of since last Monday, and hopefully that will end today. Sitting around the house when the sun is shinning leaves a lot to be desired.
