For Sale: Slightly Used Pacemaker

So I went to see my heart doctor yesterday and it turns out I don't necessarily need a pacemaker right now. My heart block has resolved. It could come back, and they never take pacemakers out once they put them in.

Everyone has told me I should be "thankful that I have the pacemaker." I realize that's true, but I really wish everyone would stop telling me that for now. It's hard to swallow that I'm stuck with a computer planted in my chest for the rest of my life.
