Well, this kinda sucks!

Mike,
I said a prayer for you and the surgeons, wish I could do more! Just remember we are here when you need us and please keep us up to date with how things are going...Phil

Thanks Phil! I will update as I know more.
Folks, the outpouring of support and prayers from those that I have met and even more those I’ve not yet had the pleasure to is almost overwhelming to this old country boy. People like y’all are what makes the ODT such a great place! I’m very humbled and blessed to be a member here. Thank you all!

First off prayer sent. I to have a pacemaker/defibrillator and this really hits home. Luckily I haven't had any issues with mine. Also I'm having cataract surgery in a few weeks. God bless you.

just been admitted to Piedmont Hospital in Atlanta, I’ve been having a problem with a seeming infection at the site of my implanted defibrillators. It has sorta baffled my doctors as it has been extremely random in showing up. The area around the scar would get red and kinda sore for a day or two, then it would go away for days and sometimes several weeks before appearing again. I have been examined by my cardiologist, my defibrillator/pacemaker dr, and even an infectious disease specialist without making much progress. Been on antibiotics for over two months. Wednesday morning it was red and sore again then that evening it started weeping fluid. Yesterday evening it ruptured and started draining some nasty looking stuff. I went to my local urgent care about 7:30pm and the doc there strongly recommended I see my ID doctor today . He now has admitted me to the hospital (in the cardiac observation unit) for some I V antibiotics, observation and possible removal of this defibrillator. Been expecting to have this replaced due to the battery nearing depletion but this may speed things up a bit.
Anyway, that’s what’s going on so a prayer would be greatly appreciated
Thank, Mike

Prayers for a good outcome

Good luck and best wishes on your upcoming cataract surgery. I hope mine goes well Monday.
I received a call from the docs at Piedmont today, looks like next Friday the 20th is the day they are taking this device out. I should know more tomorrow I hope as they are supposed to let me know when I have to go for pre-op.
Again, thanks for the prayers and support folks. It means more to me than you can ever know.
