I just recieved my ICD on the last of june,still at home on recovery time for a few more weeks,its alittle getting used to,a few people in general are weirded out by it,and feel the lump in my chest and back away like i'm a alien or something.I never told anyone at the hospital or even my family doctor doesn't even know i'm gay,for fear they would of turned me down for getting this device,I'm curious anyone else out there have a pacemaker and how did they deal with it and trying to be intimate without freaking people out.I talked with meeting up with this one guy and I thought it would make sense telling him about it before seeing it first hand,and right away asked if my doctor said it was ok to have sex,.I'm the same person before ,it just saddens me to think I have more obstacles to jump over to be happy.
