Thank you for sharing your experiences.
It has been a long road for her.
1st Pacemaker was 10 years ago.
2nd one was 5 years ago.
Open heart surgery - aortic valve replacement 3 years ago.
That was when one of the wires were damaged.
Almost bleed to death because of blood thinner and a ER Dr. that just said
it is a "simple nose bleed", until I proved him wrong.
Then fluid on the lungs 3 times, which had to be drawn off.
In between the Pacemaker and surgery we found she is diabetic the hard way.
I took her to the ER and her blood sugar was over 1,000!
3 days in ICU and she was good.
A year of testing before that and no Dr. found it.
All new Doctors after that.
We are hoping that she will be on her feet again and able to go.
Thanks again for the encouragement. I have share it with her.
