Sorry about your grams, hope she gets better. My own gramma has a pacemaker & cancer, I know where you are coming from. Hope things get better.

[napolitana869]

I'm sorry. I lost my grandma a few months ago. it really sucks. You you try to visit her in the hospital.

[birdgirl73]

Real sorry about your grandma, Rebgirl! Are they going to get her stabilized and then replace her pacemaker? Hope they can do that!

[Metaphor]

sorry to hear about your grandma. My grandfather just passed a few weeks ago so i know the deal, it really does suck. I hope the best for your grandma but godforbid anything should happen just remember, death is as much a miracle as life is.

[Skink]

Keep us posted sweetie,,,still thinking about ya...

[Reefer Rogue]

I'm sorry to hear that Reb, i hope she gets better quickly :)

[smoke it]

bummer reb. i hope she gets better.

[rebgirl420]

thanks guys, you guys rock. They moved her to a regular room and she's scheduled to get the new pace maker tommorow. I suppose stuff like this really makes you appreciate people even more.

[birdgirl73]

Glad to hear she's been upgraded to a regular room and is stable enough to get a new pacemaker. That's great news, hun! Make sure they look into whether her old pacemaker was one of those made by Guidant that got recalled. If so, she's entitled to some compensation for the resulting problems and the replacement. Her cardio-electrician doc ought to know the details about that.

[rebgirl420]

wow thanks birdgirl, im totally going to look into that

[Dr. Dro]

It sounds like gramma is going to be alright.

[rebgirl420]

yeah so it seems. I love her too, she's such a little old lady. And she has a lady bug problem in her house and last time I was there i bought her daisies and she made me suck up the lady bugs with the vaccuum haha

[birdgirl73]

This link contains some details about the device recall. It's a site that's been put up by one of the personal injury law firms that's trying to field lawsuits, but it's still provides good information about the recalled devices. There were some Medtronic pacemakers that were also recalled as well:

Guidant Defective Pacemakers and Defibrillators - Defective Products (http://www.access-media.net/guidant-recall/defects.htm#list)

[rebgirl420]

oh kick ass birdgirl, I appreciate the link :thumbsup:

[weedmaster]

[Psycho4Bud]

[rebgirl420]

yeah I called her today at the hospital and she's fine, we played the fun game "guess who died" where i have to try to remember who people are from the 1960's that were her friends who died....fun! haha

[Weedhound]

I think I'll skip that game..

Rebgirl sorry to hear about your grandmother. Very glad to hear she is on the upswing. :thumbsup:
