Good luck. Don't get the Android model, or you'll end up looking like "Mr. Data". :biggrin:
Have a co-worker who is on his third Pacemaker. The last one is a combined Pacemaker / Defibrillator. He's in his early 60's, and has been fighting congestive heart failure since he was in his teens. He did have the 'lead' issue where they had to go back and replug it in internally.
The site of the implant will be pretty sore too, and keep your eye open for post-surgical infection and etcetera. And good luck, and welcome to a longer life with a more regular beat !
