Tinnitus Update

I've still got the ringing. It's not debilitating or all that much annoying. I think I can live with it.

The Doctor confirmed for me today that it is not possible to hack into my defibrillator and cause a heart attack. That is just Hollywood playing fast and loose with the facts...what a surprise!

I have nine and a half years left on my ten year battery. The defibrillator was inserted four years ago, almost to the day.

What? I Can't Hear You!!!

I stepped out of the shower this morning with a really loud ringing in my ears. It appears I have Tinnitus. I've had ringing in my ears periodically for a while but it has never been steady and constant like this.

I have an appointment with my Electro-Cardiologist tomorrow so I'll ask about it then.

The other question that has been on my mind concerns something I have seen on a couple of TV shows. In both of these TV shows, (fictional programs) a person was killed off by someone hacking into the persons Pace Maker and causing a Heart Attack.

It's not that I'm concerned that Susan might be considering that plan, I'm just worndering if it's possible. I'm thinking it is not...but I want the facts.
