On a Visit to the Cardiologist

This afternoon I had my Cardiologist appointment. My Holta monter showed up another rhythma that is dangerous. My AF was on good behavior that day I had it on. The Cardiologist gave me two options... live with it or have a Pacemaker. I differently can't live with it, so there was only one option. 

It was explained to me what happens, which is scary in it's self. Seeing that if the Pacemaker stops working, I would die. They fit it in two stages. They partly wire it up to see if I can manage it first. Then a few months later they wire it all up the heart. If my heart goes into AF before they fit the Pacemaker they will not give me another Cardioversion. They will put me into hospital and fit it straight away. I will be booked in for early next year to have the Pacemaker otherwise. 

While I was waiting for John to pick me up I took a short walk to take some photos for blip. The wind was cold.
