Takes a licking and keeps on ticking

Yesterday I had an appointment with my cardiologist so that she could check my cardiac pacemaker. I had an EKG and everything looked good. The "gas gauge" on my pacemaker is running down since my pacemaker is more than seven years old, so I will need surgery next year to switch out my pacemaker with a fresh one. I don't use my pacemaker very often at all anymore like I did after my accident, but it's a nice insurance policy to keep my heart beating at a steady pace; between 60 and 120 bpm.  I'm glad my ticker is still ticking away!
