Tony: Did you by chance ask the Doc if he could use new Accel 7mm Super Stock plug wires in place of those leads he is been using.
Congratulations on your up coming 41st wedding anniversary.

Best Wishes

Thanks Kenny

My doc probably doesn't what a spark plug wire is........but then again
I doubt if the Accel ones would last 20 years.
 
Good luck on your operation today Tony! I'll be thinking and praying for a smooth operation and recovery for you.

Had my defibrillator checked out the other day at the Doctors office.
Was told that one of the leads that goes from the heart to the
defibrillator is failing. Kinda like a plug wire jumping spark. It could
cause the defib to shock me when it isn't needed. These leads are
coming up on 20 years old. They are the originals that were installed
in 1992 when my first unit was installed.

They can't actually replace the leads as they are screwed and stitched
to the heart. They will remove the defib. that is in my abdomen and install
a new unit into my upper chest. The old leads will be left inside me. The new
leads will be inserted thru a vein and will "dangle" in the heart as I understand it.

This will be my 5th defibrillator to be implanted. The last one was in Nov. 2005

I may be off the puter for a few days after Friday. Will have to heal from 2 incisions this time. Won't be able to drive the 'Cuda for a while (no power steering). My son-in-law is going to drive me up to Indy in the 'Cuda on the 30th as The indy Mopar Club will be doing the JDRF walk.

Needless to say, we will be keeping an eye on the cars....not walking.

Thought I would get on here and thank everyone for the prayers
and well wishes. Still very sore today. Never slept any at the hospital
on Friday night. I guess it was from all of the stuff they had to give me.

Here's a couple of pics of the unit.

The one on the left if my first (large)

My second one had to go back to the company after it failed:hmph:

The second one over is my third unit

and the last one over is my fourth unit

The fifth one that was implanted Friday is smaller than my fourth one.

Thanks again!
