    Update

    Hi Everyone:

    It has been over three-four months since I last updated my progress of my myectomy/maze procedure. During February I started having slight brown-outs without any notice and proceeded to go about my daily routine like nothing had happened. The events continued sporadically and I finally wised up and saw Dr. Sherrid who placed me on an event monitor. Fortunately I had an episode that recorded my brownouts to be short pauses. I had a pacemaker implanted on March 25 and have had no such epsiodes. It is great to be back to my normal routine and restarting my cardio-rehab. Please do not me foolish as I was seek help, somebody was watching over me. Look forward to the June 2nd golf outing and the annual meeting.

        Howie,

        Good to hear that you are doing well. Brownouts do not sound so good but I am glad that you found out what was happening. Take care.
