My sister had serious complications as a result of her pacemaker implant, and was hospitalized twice more as a result.
The complications required a thoracic surgeon to open her up and drain two liters of blood from her lungs. It was terrible.
I am relieved to say she is home now and seems to be out of danger, but when I spoke to her this weekend, she said that it was weird to come home.
This is a feeling I have had several times and still do on occasion. After being so near death, and in my case on several occasions over the past 6 years, it is sometimes difficult to adjust to life, or even the idea of normalcy.
Because of my experience, I have felt my sisters pain very acutely.
