Jun. 3rd, 2013 02:33 pmEvery now and then one has to pay some attention even to archival journals, to keep LJ from deleting them, so here's a post in this one.
Battery still holding out above the elective-replacement level on the ICD, but close enough that we expect that at my August device check, it will have fallen into that range, and we'll schedule the replacement for the week after that. Since they don't have to replace the leads, which is by far the most difficult part of placing a device, the whole thing will be outpatient surgery with a minimum of anesthesia, a good thing after my anesthesia-induced bout of extremely low blood pressure on the occasion of last September's try (the fourth try, and definitely the last) at placing the third lead. That was a minor disaster - not a major one, since I'm only slightly worse off than before, but nonetheless not fun and there is that /slightly/ worse off. More details over on my regular blog, I guess, if you care to look there.
