having a pacemaker lead changed

In order to make the pacemaker stay put from the surgery, you need to wear a sling on the arm because they don't want you to move.

John a sling is something that you put your arm in, and its attached to something that goes around your neck to prop up your arm.

So... why a sling?
i need a sling because my leads need to set in so i cant move it much.

Actually, I was thinking of you with it. I was wondering how it went.

See? There's nothing to worry about. everything is in fine control. One question though: Did they put you to sleep?

In a week, it should be back to normal :cool:
