Hey that is the lyrics of a tune............?

Freaked out the implant surgeon in the pre surgery consult when I asked what kind of wire they used. A thousand procedures and I was the first to ask, he told me, but I was wondering how the PH of the blood would interact.

Kinda cool: titanium wire ceramic coated ( according to him) encased in a teflon tube. Ends are exposed of course. Screw fitting to the actual device ( about the size of a Zippo lighter), and made of a titanium casing). The heart end as a miniature corkscrew is like a wine opener, which they literally screw into the heart wall, to keep it anchored in place. That part kinda threw me for a loop, but in hind sight, how else could they keep the end in position ? As the surgeon explained, the heart has no pain sensors so there was no pain involved although the required observation period in the hospital ( procedure only took a little over an hour) was to make sure that the heart wasn't bleeding or they had penetrated through the heart muscle...

But all is well and the newer generation of batteries supposedly will last me over a decade.

Sometimes growing old can be a bitch...
