hey laurielynn

i'm in southern california, too. yep, what a jolt when it hits. man

oh man. what a disagreeable thing to have in you, but look at the

alternative. HUM!! the shock, to your knees and then kissing the ground!!

not pleasant, but it helps ya miss your own funeral. and you are

right the doctors do not prepare you for this. and then the panic

attacks later while driving or whatever. interesting bit of life to be

exposed to and wasn't ready. best to you. where in southern

california do you live. i'm in ramona, east of escondido and the

wild animal park.

best to you, jim

Hi Stephi,

My name is Laurie, I'm 38,

live in So California and had my AICD implanted

7/00. I too was truly

shocked in every sense of the word when I experienced

my shock three months after

implant. OUCH !!!! I too was thrown to the

floor and felt completely

dumbfounded by what had occurred. I agree with

you, it is a shame that

we were not better informed as to what to expect when

a shock occurs. I

had been told, "oh, it just feels like a little thump in

the chest". As I was

on my knees repeating over and over and over again, "I

got shocked!" I was thinking,

"a little thump in the chest?" Sheesh.

I'm truly sorry to hear about

your experience and hope that you are feeling

better soon. Should

you wish to correspond directly, please feel free to

contact me at LaurieLynn@...

Bless your heart, Stephi!

Laurie
