I am assuming that Goose just received what is known as an ICD (Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator).
I asked My Cardio Surgeon one question. "I have damaged machinery (heart), what is my life expectancy? His reply, "Well 90% of fatal heart attacks are the result of the heart going into fibrillation and therefore it cannot pump blood. The cure for that is a defibrillator like the ones that are now carried in Aid Cars and located in many public places. You already have one and it doesn't have to wait for the Aid Car or someone to read the instructions. Makes you about 90% bullet-proof."
So, Goose, if you have a heart attack and the Medics come running up with a little suitcase defibrillator and its pads, you will be alive to say "No Thanks, I brought my own and its done its job."
Plus, it monitors and records every heartbeat and other activity in your heart, which on about a three month basis is read by your Doctor for further monitoring. So you have a Doctor in there too. Ain't science grand?
You are so much more well now---the rest will come when the bruising goes away.
Happy new year and many more
