    Home with new ICD

    Hi, I am home and have a new ICD. I got a new one because of the recall. All went well and I was out of the hospital 5 1/2 hours.

    My Doc. gave me a note for 20 days off work. I have a lot of lifting to do, things like 50 lb bags of dog food. I have over 200 hours of sick time that I can use. I hope to get a lot of rest and then get my flowers planted out side. Now that it is safe to put them outside and not have them freeze at night.

    Thank you for all the good thoughts and well wishes.
    Donna B. HCM & ICD. 2 sons with HCM. Brother passed away from HCM at the age of 39. Mother has HCM.
