Teri:Hi
David,
Hope you had a happy new year. I wanted to let you know that I just had quite an ordeal. I passed out at my home Monday morning and Lee called 911. We found out that my heart was stopping and that was what was causing me to pass out. After discussing my condition with the doctors, and after fainting at the hospital while hooked up to monitors they were quickly able to diagnose me as having a condition called Carotoid Sinus Hypersensitivity. The treatment was to get a pace maker. It counter act the problem, the pacemaker will kick in when my heart goes below a certain rate or when it stops all together. It will give my heart a electric shock. I can live a long life with a pace maker. I will need to get the battery changed every 7-8 years. Wanted you to know how lucky and blessed I am to live another day! If you want to post this on the blog, feel free.
Best,
Teri Cohodes MorofOur prayers and best wishes to
Teri for a quick, complete, and successful recovery.
