That seems set ridiculously low. The 185/210 I think is how it was set for me when it went off... so I'm still too scared to have the defib turned back on. If I were to, I can't imagine a blast setting of less than 230. I get to 150 just standing & singing with my band sometimes (my resting pace is usually around 70).

This happened to me too around the end of April. It had been about two and a half weeks after my ICD was put in. Come to find out it was set to start pacing at 140bps and blast me at 160bps. Once I got to the hospital the doctor decided because I'm only 31 and alot more active than a old person it was set to pace at 185bps and dephib at 210bps.

A few decades former, if you were acknowledge alcohol dependence you’d be most probable to be greeted with tongues clucking. Although the stain is still attached, it’s great that facilities and support groups are ready and individuals are a lot more understanding with substance abuse right now.

Ok. Not sure how I can help, though. The author of the theme would be the best person to contact for all assistance.

p.s. I was awarded unemployment but as I wrote in the entry, I had to fight for it and it was all surrounding the missed time & lateness issue. The worst youll have to do is state your case to the state when you apply for unemployment and hope for the best. Really, thats all I did, too.
And by the way, getting fired from there was the best thing that's happened to me in a LONG time. It really opened up a new path for me which I've followed ever since.

Hi Jeff,
Don't be too nervous... you more than likely deserve a much better job than that.

I was in provider services in Blue Bell. I didn't meet any of their numbers either. God forbid we actually take the time to get to the bottom of the caller's issue! But I was ultimately fired for missing too much time... so I have little advice for you since I continued to do the job the way it should be done up until my last day -- and not the way they wanted it done.

If you really need the job and need to conform, then I guess the solution is to not question anything they tell you and just send the claims for reprocessing so you can move on.

What dept did you work in? Im in customer service in Fort Wayne, and they audit us on every call we do. I am not meeting their numbers and am afraid I will be fired by june. Did you have to file any appeals for your unemployment? This is all new to me and I am nervous as hell. Any help/advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Jeff.

It is difficult for people to grasp the meaning of a nerve pathway, or why this is related to addiction. Often when people hear a new idea like: an addictive impulse is the result of a nerve impulse - they are left unsympathetic. Addicts and non addicts alike have a hard time believing that drug or alcohol use is anything more than a choice that is made in response to a habit. Deep down inside, most people believe that at it's root - the behavior is always a choice. They are very, very wrong. This author was stuck in addiction for over a decade, so completely was he convinced that the mind was an immaterial spiritual power - and that to call alcoholism or addiction a disease was a cop-out for the weak-willed. This author believed that - each and every time - free choice was at the root of addictive behavior. Until one day, in another recovery facility - the author stumbled upon the concept of neuro-pathways - by reading a book called The Training of the Will - by a Jesuit priest. That book was written in the early 1900's. Even then, the Jesuits knew that the root of almost all behavior was based - not in free will - but in neurological wiring. For the Jesuits, training the will essentially consists in training the body. After reading that book, this author began to understand that while his mind - his intellect - was indeed an immaterial power, the overwhelming cravings for drugs or alcohol were based in his body. He came to believe that addiction really was a neurological disease.

Re: Surgery postponed?

I just wanted to let you know I was thinking about you and I hope your surgery goes well.:)

Re: Surgery postponed?

Coz — Thu, 08 Jan 2009 12:14:44 -0000

Yeah I used to, too. But when I told the dentist last night that I already took antibiotics before I arrived, he told me that's no longer needed. Hah! Apparently this is a recent change, though, so tell your docs to look into it because apparently it's not necessary anymore unless you have a valve problem. I think that and pace-makers are the only cause for antibiotics prior to dental appointments now.

As a heart patient, I have to take antibiotics before every dentist appointment.....so strange....

Listen, growing up with alcoholic parents, this wasn't something I wanted to believe and I didn't until very recently. I wanted it to be their fault. In some ways, it is, but not all.

The actual drugs/alcohol are the triggers of the disease. The body can definitely sit there dormant with this biological setup, ready to become addicted to something.

I have the biological setup, I'm sure of it. With both parents being addicts, the chances of me having the genes are very high. My addiction to cigarettes already proves that. So I have to be real careful not to allow myself to enjoy anything else, or I will trigger it and not be able to get over it.

We used to call it an addictive personality. Some people can use and be OK. Some cannot. It's those that cannot stop using that have triggered their addiction.

I mean, it was all just explained in the tape. And until you're suffering from the inability to stop yourself from using does it become more apparent that you have no control over this. The disease takes over your way of thinking and will justify using in any way it possibly can. I'm sure you've seen this behavior before, as have I.

you and i will differ on a whole host of issues and i guess this is no different... addiction is not a disease it is a behavior related action. If you do not pick up the bottle or ingest the drugs then you have no chance of becoming addicted to them..

More threats! Wow! Why don't you come beat the living shit out of me because I tried to warn you about her. Makes some real good sense.

I hope she burns you worse than me, because at least you were given the priviledge of being warned.

dude get over yourself this is not her and i'll be more than happy to let you find out first hand, don't feel sorry for me keep feeling sory for yourself, looks like your good at that!

Re: Lights, Camera, LEGAL ACTION

Coz — Mon, 25 Sep 2006 15:47:00 -0000

You're just an idiot. I really feel sorry for you.

You can't tell me these things, can you? You must be unsure... or you are her, hiding behind an illusion. (Again)

Just think about these things.
And when you find I was right, come by and say I was right and apologize for not believing me.
And seriously, call me if you start doubting. I'd be more than happy to tell you how things really are.

I'll edit this post down to something I think might be less offensive, but not to the point I feel i'm sacrificing my dignity for an anonymous idiot over the internet.
