We have been fulltiming for 9 years. He is well regulated and normally just sees his cardiologist twice a year in Indianapolis. He's been going there since his problems started. He sees the doctors from the old Krannert Institute of Cardiology, now at Methodist. Who is John's cardiologist? I think the docs in Indy are the best. They have kept my husband alive for 16 years after his problems started when they gave him 72 hours to live. We have a "Carelink" which allows us to send a tape to the doctor via the internet if anything happens or seems "strange" to him. They can read his ICD then and know exactly what is going on. We are in Goshen for Escapade and will later be at Elkhart campground. If you want to talk, get in touch. Good luck with the device implantation. I think Terry stayed over night the first time, but since then, it's an in/out procedures. Terry's latest device has changed his life dramatically for the good.

Once you're back in Indianapolis, you can relax and let the doctors take over. Soon you'll be there - many people are praying for you and sending positive wishes. <br /><br />As you drive, shake out your hands often - I had 5 months of a thumb splint because I clutched the steering wheel so much during a windy mountain drive I ended up with tendonitis in both hands. I hope to never drive in those kinds of winds again, but you have no choice, so exercise those fingers often. :)Barbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16516591720277269204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-190876383418700062.post-73358795750435269972014-04-29T13:08:15.820-04:002014-04-29T13:08:15.820-04:00Have a safe trip and wishing you all the best!Have a safe trip and wishing you all the best!Chuck and Anneke's RV travelshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01929384797592263167noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-190876383418700062.post-39078791865047931062014-04-29T12:01:21.489-04:002014-04-29T12:01:21.489-04:00Oh Sandy, it surely is windy!
