Sept. 19, 2009 - 7 years of survival. It's hard to believe 7 years have passed since my SCA. I've had my ICD battery replaced once, and *knock on wood* it has only fired twice - both times within weeks of being implanted in 2002. My EF has been 50% for the past 6 years -normal! It had been down to 35% in the beginning, after a bout with pericarditis which led to my SCA.
Thank you all for sharing your stories of survival. It's almost like sharing stories of children's births - not one is exactly like the other. I continue to fight to get more AEDs in my workplace. Currently, we only have one in our 9 story building. NOT ENOUGH! If I had my way, we'd have one on each floor.
Well, thanks for listening. Take care and best wishes to all.
Chris
