As some of you might know, I had a pacemaker (PM) implanted last Sunday morning. It itches like crazy, and it's a bummer when I sneeze. Things are better, all around, though. Such an excellent Christmas present!
Within a few weeks, I should be "about" ready to make a decision about riding again, and I have such issues as electromagnetic interference (EMI issues to consider (heated vest?). I've sent an e-mail to Gerbing asking about this particular issue. There are many other issues a pacemaker invokes that the consequences of I have just begun to digest, and all will require management. For example, a minor but jolting accident could be more critical to me, as a person with a PM, as opposed to one without a PM, etc. I naturally wonder, now that I'm affected, what other medical aspects and consideration of riding limitations others experience but don't reveal?
Does anyone out there have a pacemaker and ride? If so, I'd like to hear from you, off list ([email protected]).
If I decide to stay off my bikes, I'll have a blue 2001 Connie and a candy red 2003 GL1800A to sell, plus a lot of equipment and gear. There is no good time to sell either bike, and since I own both outright it isn't a decision I need to make soon.
I'll post this also at the GOG site.
