One of many unbelievable medical experiences

 Most medical experiences are never at all what you expect them to be. So, you are dealing with the unknown in a profound way if you are like me, often.

One of the more memorable experiences was for me in June of 2020 when Medicare approved putting a defibrillator pacemaker into my chest above my left rib cage where my heart is located. They first dig a pocket there for it to live in and the one they installed in me has bluetooth and a 10 year battery life before they have to open you up to put in another battery or something.

It was covid time so I was very scared of getting and dying from covid in the hospital then. They isolated me in a holding room on a guerney in a hospital by myself for around 4 hours while I waited for this operation. This part was not fun at all. So, by the time of my procedure they sent in a male nurse to talk to me and joke with me and sort of psychologically prepare me for the procedure.

He told me about something called "Joy Juice" that they would intravenously put into my arm to be my anesthetic where I could speak to them if they needed me to and yet I think versed was involved also so I wasn't going to remember much of the operation actually in the end.

So, when they set the intravenous drip into my arm I soon was in another universe where enlightenment seemed to be what I was experiencing or Satori or lightning enlightenment of the Vajrayana or something of this sort.

At this point they shoved oxygen tubes up my nose and covered my head with a blanket which was fine with me because I was in a chemically induced "enlightened state" according to my own senses.

So, I experienced no pain at all until I woke up in my own hospital room whenever they were done working on me and adjusting my pacemaker.

This was a pretty amazing experience that I had and I think of it fondly sometimes now.

By God's Grace

And all my fears concerning a pacemaker I found to be unfounded and it felt sort of like going back to my health of 10 to 20 years ago before when I was younger and stronger.

My wife's step father lived with a pacemaker to be 98 years old and died in his own home. My wife's biological mother is now in her 90s and has a pacemaker too.
