More Recovery Notes
18 Jan 2012: Recovery is going fairly well. ICD was tested out to be OK today by its maker. My heart doctors say I am doing very well. Both they and I attribute my general good heath to staying on a low salt diet with lots of fruits and vegetables PLUS staying active EVERY day by doing my farm work, garden work, and exercise (of mind and body).
It has been about 12 weeks since my ICD implant, but I am still having various burning pains (0 to 4 on scale of 10) around site of implant, probably due to nerve damage. Hopefully, it will not progress to pain like that seen with Complex Regional Pain Syndrome Type II (CRPS, Type II). I'm hoping the nerve damage due to the operation will improve over time.
