This morning I had my annual Defib Check-up and I knew after six years and running for a year that they would be asking questions. My check-up would normally take ten mines but today it took an hour! Basically my battery is getting low and this means in a few months I will need a small op to replace and upgrade the device which might entail me having the ICD leads to be replacing which is a bit worse as it takes longer to recover as the leads have to embed themselves in to the heart. Now I'm hoping that I won’t need the leads replaced as this could mean an early end to my challenge :( but all I can do is to wait and see what happens. My chest will be bruised after the op so the mile will be the only option for me. I just hope this is all done after October the 28th as that’s my next bigger race the Salisbury Half Marathon.
Hey for once I've had something interesting to put up.
Peace out
Hi Rob, I only know you through this challenge, but I have to say how much I admire your determination. It's very inspiring and I hope everything works out for you. Good luck at the weekend for the marathon. :)
