While I understand it is more painful with the paddle (common sense), I also understand that the leads are less likely to migrate. I want the best possible results once I get on the other side and am willing to put up with added pain.

We all respond/recover differently as we have all sorts of different issues. 20 years ago, I would bounce back from monster surgery in record time. At 63, I have aquired additional problems and I have slowed down, across the board.

The last few weeks have been pretty depressing in my building. Two neighbors have died and one had her second son murdered. I think I am glad I am not having the surgery in the immediate future.
