How does St. Jude compare to Metronics ICD

[Guest guest]

-I just spent $300 having a replacement ICD implanted on 24 Fenb

2012.  The prior one last

six years and one day.  Hope the same for this one.  Doc put in a St.

Jude ICD.  This one is a lot deeper so recovery been on the painful

side.  This unit vibrates .  My hearing is so bad I could hear the

alert for low battery on the prior Metronic ICD.

Ten days out I doing very good.  No pain and most the Super Glue they

used to close me up is dropping off.  Only thing I noticed when one is

six years apart between procedures, you can feel the impact that age

has on you.  I am 68 now., I wonder how replacement at 74 will impact

me.   Bet I  will be downloading a lot more movies on Netflix to pass

the time during recovery.
