I had a bad morning what with Sabrina (our Airedale puppy) hurting her leg while running around the yard and we though she was hit by a bulldozer or something and the politics, but a few hours later after we found that she would be OK we went to our Senior center for lunch and I had a great time as always, I came out we got the mail at the post office, I sat into the car, Donna was driving Thank God, then I remember saying that I felt very dizzy everything went black and the next thing that I remember was that I could hear her way off in the distance screaming at me, she kept getting louder and louder until it felt like she was rattling the windows in the car only they were open!

I found out later at my doctors that I had died, doctors call it an episode I call it dead!

For 6.9 seconds I was dead and if not for my Guidant I would be pushing up daisies today.

The thing should work within 0 to 10 seconds; Guidant did not want to wait and started right away because their computer showed that from going black to asking why Donna was screaming at me took only 6.9 seconds!

The reason why I call it my Guidant is because some doctors wanted to put in another name brand however, before anyone cuts into my chest (the last time someone tried that was in 1963 there were 9 of them and let us just say none of them will ever hurt anyone ever) I spent a lot of time doing my homework about all brands, I found that each company has had problems in the past but since Guidant jointed Boston Scientific they had the best record for me.

So like it or not Sachem Walkingfox is still around to harass everyone, Sorry.

If you are told that you need an implantable defibrillator do your homework however, get it done, the life you save could be your own or maybe mine if you are driving at the time!

P.S. I am a coward but the operation was a piece of cake, very little pain!

Because of my American Native Spirituality I was hoping that when I had my “episode” I could say that I saw my Ancestor, talked with the Creator or was blinded by that bright light, ALAS none of that happened however I had no pain (the fear of my life) I felt warm and all that day I felt great and my blood pressure was 122/60 and that is the miracle!

 I know from an inner feeling that I am being told that my work on Mother Earth is not done; I need to get out and talk to the children about American native’s past present and future!

Because he cares about his patients Joe, Boston Scientific (Guidant) technician,

Dropped everything and came to the doctor’s office to run his computer to show us just what had happened, do you think that would happen with something you got from China?

I think not!

So remember this old broken bodied Sachem works cheap!

I opened myself up on this web site because I know firsthand that there are few if any support groups around for someone that may need a pace maker or a two or three wire defibrillator, I would have worked my doctors for a three wire if I had the information! The two wire as you can see works great however the newer three wire may work stronger?

Regardless 0 to 10 seconds is not a lot of time and you may not be in any possession to do anything about it so find someone that you trust and get information, NOW!
