Apologies, I should have been listening ..........

When it does not apply to us individually, we tend not to read threads that
we know nothing about or have nothing to contribute to. Or at least I try,
and I think some people should try more. ;-)
It looks like I may have to get a pacemaker next week. I know this has been
discussed in the past, but I would like to hear from people here with
pacemakers, and how they have been affected. I know that some months have
passed since the thread was here, so there are months of experiences to be
reported and updated. I have been Googling, and it seems high magnetic
fields are the worst things, and I wonder about the ratings of these fields
when rated for
SMAW
GTAW
GMAW
and other things in the shop that can jump up and bite me.
I really don't know what the doctor will say when I ask them about
continuing welding, as they said NO POWER TOOLS (it was in caps there, too)
in the coumadin literature I got. Yeah, right, was my thought! I do have
to say that in the last 7.5 years since surgery, I have not had a bad cut,
but I have been very conscious when working with sharp stuff.
So, for those who'd like to chime in, I'd like to hear some things before I
head out for a stay at Shady Acres.
From what I've seen and heard, pacemakers are no big deal to install,
maintain, change, and they really make a difference on how one feels.
Stories about that aspect appreciated, too.
