Mental Clarity

My increased Mental Clarity because of having a defibrillator pacemaker installed last week is pretty incredible. The technology these days is literally "out of this world" in what is possible if you have Medicare or good health insurance or are just wealthy worldwide.

So, because I have Medicare because I'm a 72 year old American I also now (after waiting for around 6 months or so) by taking Entresto which is an excellent drug if you are experiencing edema from heart issues. But, Medicare required I wait until I had been on Entresto for at least 3 months (I started on Entresto on December 1st. The advertisement on TV says, "Take Entresto, be with your family. Stay out of the hospital". However, they don't tell you that it costs $600 a month to be on Entresto if you aren't on Medicare. Even on Medicare at my income grouping I paid 300 dollars for 3 months worth of it the other day. So, surviving until you are 65 and can get on Medicare is a real trick for most people. For example, I was paying 1800 a month or more for full medical coverage in insurance fees until I turned 65 and could go on Medicare. Medicare I believe is anywhere (depending upon your income level) from around 100 a month if you don't have much money to around 1000 a month at the highest income tier I believe. But, thank God it isn't 1800 a month which is why I was paying and my wife is still paying because she isn't 65 yet. So, please find a way to survive economically to 65 when you can get on Medicare. I think in 2015 when my appendix burst it only cost me about 1500 dollars for my operation that either saved my life or just gave me a hernia. Because my body had already taken care of it by eating up the actual appendix and putting a pus pocket around it.

I have found out since then that in the old days people had burst appendixes for thousands of years and had around a 50-50 chance of surviving it all that time which is about the same chance of surviving childbirth before 1800. However, with the right mindset and health and physical disposition most women can give birth without a caesarian section. All the Caesarian sections are increasing head size of humans on earth by the way. Before if your head was too big you just died before caesarian sections.

But, the other side of this is maybe the human race can have bigger brains now too?

Should you have a defibrillator pacemaker installed?

My answer likely would be "Yes!" Because otherwise you will die much sooner.

Your lifespan mental clarity increases exponentially with a pacemaker installed if you need one.

If you are 70 like me it is possible now to live 10 to 30 more years or even beyond that just because you have a pacemaker installed.

Does it feel different?

For me, my heart feels much more balanced in the way it beats and it isn't fighting itself in an inefficient way anymore. This can cause the heart to repair itself and extend your lifespan.

Younger people who have pacemakers installed in their 20s and 30s often go mountain climbing to high altitudes and this saves their lives and increases their lifespans by 20 to 80 years beyond their present ages.

So, having a pacemaker you might live to 100 or beyond whereas without one you might die anytime if you need one.

So, would you rather be alive and clear headed or fade out until you die?

This is the real choice here in the end.

What does it feel like to have a pacemaker installed.

There are two pieces to this. One is when it is installed and then after it is installed.

Normally, you are awake for having one installed so they can talk to you if need be. You need to be able to tell them if something isn't right. This is helpful to both you and the doctor.

However, I will tell you that once they gave me the joy juice it was like a meditation for me and a very pleasant one. I could have talked to the doctor in an emergency "which is why I was awake". But, I didn't need to. The Strangest thing about all this was I was happy while someone was digging around in my chest between my clavicle bone and my chest while all this was being done.

What they do is to snake two to three wires down into your heart area which have little barbs that attach to the inside chambers of your heart to tell your heart when to beat in various chambers. So, for someone like me with an irregular heartbeat and who had one chamber of the heart not firing properly they were able to make my heart many times more efficient in a way that likely will cause my heart to rebuild itself over time because of the incredibly increased efficiency.

So, like I said "Do you want to stay alive and alert and healthy and enjoy your life or do you want to die sooner than you need to?"

If you have Medicare or can afford to have this done or have good health insurance I would advise you to do this if you actually need it. There are different types of pacemakers but I needed the one that was a defibrillator pacemaker to start my heart if it stops automatically. My wife was scared the last 6 months that my heart might stop before I got one of these installed. I knew that wasn't going to happen because the angels told me so but I couldn't 100% reassure my wife of that even though she believes in angels too.

I just later realized I hadn't shared what it was like pre and post operation so here it is:

I had to not eat or drink anything (except for a few sips with medicines) from about 11pm the night before. I was supposed to be operated on at 2 pm but the doctor had two other patients before me so I wasn't actually operated on until about 4 pm and I was in my new hospital room by 6pm or 6:30.

I was okay until about 3:15 or 3:30 which was an up biorhythm for me when I usually walk our dog on the beach or in the forest near where I live and we live within 1 mile of the beach also. So, I had hoped to be operated on in my strongest biorhythm which didn't happen. By about 3:15 or 3:30 I was starting to have problems with no water and no food at this point and what helped me a little was the vision quest I had been on in 1983 in regard to all this. Also, under about 45 I had done a lot of fasting up to 7 days on water with lemon and a little maple syrup to cut the toxins that might give you a headache otherwise.

So, I was not a happy camper when the nurse arrived who was one of the nurses to assist with the operation. Luckily, this person was very personable and realized I was having some difficulty. He asked if I felt like I was going to throw up from not eating or drinking and I said I didn't think so but I wasn't doing very well. But, he joked with me which was good because I had mostly been left alone staring at a wall from noon until 3:30 or 3:45 when he arrived. So, I was a little nervous because I wasn't in an optimal physical or psychological state going into this operation but knew stopping it wouldn't be useful either. So, with joking and moving me from the wheeled gurney to the operating table I had already had an IV installed in my left hand with tape attaching it. So, they gave me joy juice in my left hand and soon the operation was underway. It was sort of like a nice meditation after they put oxygen tubes up my nose and covered my face with a blue blanket I could see through. I watched the blue threads and felt the doctor digging in my chest but it was pleasant because of the medicine they had given me. This was the only time I DIDn't feel some pain or distress all the time I was in the hospital was during the operation.

By 6:30pm I was ordering food after several tries with a busy signal on the land line in the hospital in my hospital room. I hadn't eaten since 11pm the night before or even been allowed any water either. I asked for a medical urinal because I was hooked up to a heart monitor with wires and other stuff too to make sure I was okay and the wires or the pacemaker was functioning properly overnight. But, as soon as I got into my room I began to feel the pain of having an operation. Since moving wrong might mess up the operation I preferred to feel the pain to remind me not to make certain movements with my left arms and hand. They put my left arm in a sling so I wouldn't move it much and I tried to sleep that way after I had eaten. I slept from about 11:30 pm to maybe 1 am before the nurse woke me up for something. It seemed like they woke me up about every 1/2 hour for something or other or I had to pee or something. They won't let you take your normal medicine. They had to give it to you likely in case you aren't in your right might during a post operation situation. I was very relieved to be released by 10:30 Am after breakfast the next day so I could go home and get a good nights sleep so people wouldn't wake me up every half hour anymore.

The main thing I noticed was how different everything felt and how much clearer my mental capacities were immediately. I no longer felt like I was going to die in the next couple of years. That was a lot to carry and be brave in front of my wife regarding all this the last couple of years. I realized I might live to 100 or more now and that was a real possibility at this point.
