Bob,

It's a funny, funny story but I'm sorry you have to go through getting a new

pacemaker. Best of luck, fingers crossed for an easy time of it. You have way

too much to deal with and I keep you in my spiritual thoughts.

All the best to my Indiana Friend.

[ ] And Bob went " Beep Beep "

Hi Guys,

About 10 or 12 nights ago, Pat & I were awakened by an alarm, " BEEP BEEP " ,

over and over for one minute. The alarm went off at 2:53 AM. Well, I thought

that maybe I'd set the alarm on my watch accidently so the next morning I

checked and, nope, the watch's alarm wasn't the problem.

Well, this went on every night at 2:53 AM-- " BEEP BEEP " over and over for one

minute. We changed all of the batteries in clocks, smoke detectors, even the

scales, to no avail. Each night at 2:53 AM the same old noise, " BEEP BEEP " . I

had gotten out of bed several nights and ran all over the house, and the beeping

was loud everywhere.

Finally, night before last, I was thinking about the problem and decided the

alarm was coming from Pat's side of the bed and the only thing over there was

the clock. I decided that if the alarm went off I was going to reach over and

yank the electric cord out of the wall and see what happened.

Sure enough, at 2:53 AM the alarm went off, " BEEP BEEP " . I rolled over Pat to

get to the clock, Pat woke up, and said------ " IT'S YOU, YOU'RE BEEPING " !!!!!

Sure enough, I WAS BEEPING.

Seems my pacemaker has an alarm system that goes off at a predetermined time

each day if it is malfunctioning. I rushed to my cardiologist yesterday and

found that my pacemaker's battery is running low, thus causing the alarm, and

that while the alarm was set to go off at 8:00 AM each day if there's a

malfunction, the damn thing's internal clock wasn't correctly set. The nurse

told me that it wasn't uncommon for people not to know the source of the alarm

for several days after it starts going off.

So I get a new pacemaker next Wednesday or Thursday (you can't just change the

battery, you have to change the whole pacemaker).

Not a Happy Bob , Granger, Indiana

Hi Indiana , you're lucky yours goes " beep-beep " . Many years ago, I

think it may have been the beginning of pace makers, I know they did not beep,

my friend's mom had one put in. She received a letter one day telling her that

her pace maker was faulty, and she should go immediately to the hospital and

have another put in. She called her doctor, who happened to be in the same

hospital, as a patient, recovering from surgery. Believe it or not, he appeared

in the operating room in his p.j.'s, and replaced her pacemaker. That was in

the good old days, when doctors went above and beyond the call of duty! Be

well, blessings, Bobby

Hi Bob - well look in the bright side, it may not have gone off at all!

Would have been interesting to happen at your " show and tell " and see who dx

the problem LOL.

Dear ,

I actually thought of that. Imagine a bunch of college students

questioning this old coot and the old coot suddenly starts beeping.

Better yet, how about going thru airport security--they'd think I was a

walking IED.
