Chronic Health Conditions Discussion and Support

I was having these spells where everything would be fine and then I would faint and fall. I was in the hospital and I coded. They decided I needed a pacemaker, so I said okay.

The surgery was rough. They couldn't totally put me out and it was painful. I never had any more of those fainting spells, though. I just have to get it checked once a year. I have a monitor in my bedroom that checks on the pacemaker while I'm sleeping. I totally forget all about it. I guess it's a success story.
