mingo1,She is going to have a wonderful life. I had a heart attack and an ICD implant in 1993. I do almost everything I want to do and do not worry about my heart very much. It takes some time to get over the initial shock, but it does go on the back burner. The heart is an amazing organ and although I only have about one third of my heat left, I continued to coach little league baseball for 15 years, play soccer and golf with my kids, lay a huge patio with pavers and a ton of other things that one might not think they can do. I also was told that I might have to have a transplant and it worried my for a short time. But, the doctors and new procedures make it a simple operation and gives full life back to people. I am almost 69 now and getting a little old for a transplant. However, I live strong, pray and make sure that I have great times with my wife, children and grand kids. Remember that the ICD is there for a purpose and believe me that it is one great device. I even have a home monitoring unit that sends info to the maker of the device and tracks my heart all the time. I even got a call once that I need to hydrate more. It monitors just about everything and is free! I just really feel that the whole thing was just a bump in the road. Everything will get back to normal...believe me! Great holiday to all of you.
