    I went for follow up exam on Saturday. I was told no heavy lifting or bending for a week. I have another appointment this week. I will probably have the other eye done soon I guess I'll wait till next Saturday and then start some light work.

    The first day back to being able to use the upper body. Everything felt good. I wanted to add more weight but patience is best for now. I may stick to one lift a day for now to limit overall stress until I recover further. I am pretty eager to get the squats worked back up in the direction I had them moving.

    Thanks fifty. It's gonna be different now as I am not sure how high I can/should bench with this contraption in my chest. When I questioned the EP surgeon when I was in the hospital for the sotalol loading he asked how much could I lift and I said 220 since I was almost there and he said he wanted me to limit it to 50% of that. When I asked for how long at that percentage he said as long as I had the implant. He said at that strength level that I could break the leads going under my collarbone. I am already past 50% the first day back. We will see.

    Your doing fine I think.
    You might need to talk to him a little bit more, I mean it might be fixable, if it breaks, and how do you know if it goes bad?
    The SS-forum might know something.
    Hope all goes well, so far so good.

    The electrophysiologist explained it to me but I did not understand all of it. If it breaks I would have to be cut into again and the lead replaced from the unit through a vein and back into the heart where it gets anchored with a screw tip of some sort. I have a small cell phone type unit on my dresser in the bedroom that constantly monitors the unit and sends the info instantly over a cellular network. The medical folks would know if it broke before I would.
