I was searching the net to find answers for myself and I came accross your old post. I hope everything worked out for you and you are healthy. I do have a few questions if you don't mind... Did they remove your pacemaker? Did they implant another? If they did were there any other complications/infections? My pacemaker became infected after the generator was change. I had a Staph a. infection in the pocket. My blood cultures were negative, but several months after they removed the pm they found 2 masses in my heart which were subsiquently removed via open heart surgery. For three yrs doctors have told me it is too risky to put the pm back in, but last week they are suggesting a new pm, but it is my decision.
Best Wishes,
Carolyn
