    A twist on the idle screw and they'll get it dialed in.

    Finally, some good news!

    The cardiologist who placed the pacemaker was just in. He said diaphragm spasm is relatively common after placing a pacer and they can easily adjust the settings on my pacemaker to eliminate it. The rep for the pacemaker company will make those adjustments in the morning.

    Also he feels the severe left bundle branch block I had was causing most of the collapse of the left ejection fraction to 18%.

    Over the next three months the pacer will remodel the left ventricle and shrink it and return it to a more normal size and shape. When that happens my left ventricle ejection fraction could return to my post heart attack normal of 40%!

    He said I can resume riding my e bike, cutting firewood and driving in just a couple days, but overall I should feel better right away!

    Praise God, and thanks to all of you for your prayers!!!

    A good friend said now we need to go for another bike ride this spring, and if the battery on my e bike runs out, we can just hook it up to my pacemaker.

    I think he’s been watching too many Iron Man movies.

    BrianK, I'm so glad things are working out for you! Prayers are still rolling for you. Stay away from, microwave ovens, CB radios, RC Planes and drones, Garage door openers and cellphone towers! You might go into a dance, your body start doing things it's not supposed to and start speaking a different language. :dancer:
    :fart::banana::wacky:o_O:rofl: :lol: Get better!!! :D

    I thought these things were more likely to occur around a campfire with Fireball among the FHC crew?
