To recap the nightmare, on December 11th, 2019 I passed out and my defibrillator went off on me while I was heading to a haircut appointment.
Out of an abundance of caution, Susan and I went to the Emergency Room at Sacred Heart to be told that my defibrillator went off. $1100.00 please.
The next night, we were painting the STA sky walk when I felt a dizzy spell coming on while up on the ladder. I got down immediately and safely got myself to the floor when the defib went off again.
I was in to see Dr. Byazrova in the next couple of days and at that point, she told me not to drive for six months.
The six months ended in June. She told me to reduce the Amiodorone I was taking by half for a month and then go off it completely for another month.
When I called in yesterday about my breathing problem, I also brought up the driving issue. Dr. B's nurse, Jan called today to tell me it is okay to drive again.
I'm going to continue to take the bus. I still have $32.00 on my SmartCard. But I'm going to drive when I feel like it too.
