Also my diagnosis is not a erratic heart beat. My condition is called A-FIB with a extreme high heart rate. 1 in 5 with A-FIB will die if a stroke occurs. I am like 40% more likely to have a stroke or Heart attack compared to the average person. They are having issues bringing my heart back into rhythm.

Prayers are welcomed and wanted.

I also pray for you lucky as well......

Maybe try doing less of the stressful stuff and it will help both the stress and the heart issues.. My mother and my sister has had the radical heart beats, mother was so bad it hit 190 at times.. Sounds like they are doing the same procedure.. With my mother she had an extra current causing the problems they fixed it by stopping her heart and then restarting it..

Weather your freebird / lucky or joe blow I wish you the best..... But I must say you posting quotes from the bible is a freebird tactic, and if I recall you were soon shut down.....

I thought support would be nice but being accused constantly and compared to someone else off pure speculation......

"Hmph...did he just utter something about speculation?"

Titanium? Man, that must have set you back a bundle! What did you do with the old backbone? If you have any trouble unloading it, try Craigslist.

Yep Titanium cage; The 2 vertebrates are not for sale; They were split. The missing rib is inside the titanium cage. Yep, Titanium spine.

I told my better half to cut out the cage upon death and sale it to pay for funeral.

The only problem with that is, you would never get what they charged you for the hardware.... I got to see a break down of the screws and plates they put in me, highway robbery......

[lucky]

Yep plates and screws with a Titanium cage; rib used for grafting bone into cage for a fusion at T11 and T12. Missing rib, missing Vertebrates = Not good but I live.

My Medical expense for my injury are currently at $308,000.

[bronco54501]

It is just crazy for what they charge, I have around 40 plates and screws through out my hip and pelvis and si joint.. Between three surgeries and almost 60 days in hospital I racked up 1.4 million before I was released..

Will I have the titanium left knee and the hardware in the neck.

With the next two surgeries I will have Titanium in both hands.

I am always searched when I go thru security at the airport.

Titanium will not set off the metal detector. I have been through many Airports since my surgery without issue. There is no restrictions even if you have a MRI with Titanium cages,screws etc. Now Stainless Steel is different.

It would seem out of bad luck you are randomly picked to be searched or you refuse to go through the metal detector.

You should not be so quick to assume. Not all metal detectors are alike. Newer ones can detect titanium, and even older ones will detect it if you have enough. Small amounts of titanium can get through undetected.

Maybe they did a bait and switch on you, and you are really just held together with duct tape.
