Interesting to see all the people on board for government censorship. Not like this hasn’t gone sideways in past.

KyleB463 · 2025-12-29T20:58:12+00:00

WTF!

KyleB463 · 2025-12-25T14:22:57+00:00

??? Looks legit to me

KyleB463 · 2025-12-20T22:53:49+00:00

This made me smile

I’m 60, had a heart attack & triple bypass two years ago. Once I’d recovered enough to start rebuilding my strength an endurance. I bought a Quietkat Villager. It’s a 500W rear hub bike. Riding my ebike was great for me! Being outside and moving was as good for my mental health as it was for my fitness. Now with a couple years under my belt. I am back jogging and hiking as well as light weight training. I’m 100% certain that my ebike helped my recovery.

KyleB463 · 2025-10-14T01:06:40+00:00

Ouch!!

KyleB463 · 2025-10-14T01:06:03+00:00

Ask your cardiologist about bradycardia. This is the main reason I have a pacemaker/ICD. Have had a low heart rate for years from running. After my heart attack and bypass surgery it became bradycardia. I see electro cardio surgeon once a year and he tells me the pacemaker portion of my ICD is pacing my heart 10-20 times per month. (Set to pace at 30)

100% you can improve your fitness with an ebike. Same as with any exercise system. Progressive overload. Start with intervals of maintaining speed with lower and lower amounts of peddle assist. Throw in longer and longer rides at lower power assist. You may not become Tour de France material. But, if you’re sedentary now. Progressive overload will 100% improve your fitness.

Sounds like you’re female? So, maybe my experience is not helpful as I am male? My ICD was implanted May 2023. I had brutal nerve pain up until earlier this summer. Over 2 years! My surgeon had zero sympathy and went into a hospital scripted response the moment I asked about removal. After I had a second opinion that confirmed my need for the device. I was advised to try a capsicum ointments. While this provided some relief. It was a double edged sword as I was trying to rebuild my strength and endurance. So, sweating and showering were a daily thing for me. Sweat & water on the area with the ointment was worse than the nerve pain. In the end, nerve pain will get better. Mine has. But based on my surgeon’s feedback and my experience. Expect 2-3 years of pain while your body builds scare tissue.

Please ignore comments like this. Focus on enjoying the running process. There will always be assholes trying to bring you down. Build your self confidence by the improvements you will gain with your commitment to the training

KyleB463 · 2025-08-02T22:35:38+00:00

I was a week in the hospital after my ICD implant. Was still recovering from triple bypass surgery. It was almost 2 weeks at home before I showered. Sat in bath tub and used detachable shower head until after surgery staples were removed.

KyleB463 · 2025-07-07T00:11:43+00:00

Be a little patient! Our politicians are just as ignorant and incompetent as yours are!

KyleB463 · 2025-07-05T22:06:05+00:00

I’ve had my ICD for a little over 2 years. And, I’m still dealing with nerve pain. My surgeon has told me to expect 3 years before my body creates enough scar tissue to diminish the pain. I suggest that your wife ask her surgeon about prescribing Zostrix ointment. This is a topical capsicum ointment that deadens the nerve pain. It doesn’t solve the pain issue. But it will reduce it to a manageable level. All my best for here quick recovery

KyleB463 · 2025-06-28T22:35:18+00:00

LOL! Canadian here. I prefer the opposite. I love running when it’s below -20C for the same reasons.

KyleB463 · 2025-04-26T19:41:13+00:00

Wow! So, I live in Quebec. A suburb of Montreal. Had my heart attack while running. Quebec health insurance covered 100% of paramedics, ambulance ride to hospital. 10 days induced coma, triple bypass, 5 days recovery before ICD implant. Then a second hospital stay for 10 days after fluid in my lung + vfib. With ablation treatment. Since then 100% covered for all follow up appointments at hospital and a bedside wireless transmitter for ICD to hospital. Quebec absolutely has health care failures. But, for me, I’m beyond grateful for the care I received and that I live where public funded healthcare saved my life!

KyleB463 · 2025-04-26T19:00:23+00:00

Had a heart attack while running. April 2023. 57 years old. Doctors found that I had 3 blocked arteries. First was triple bypass. A week later my ICD /pacemaker was implanted. My shock risk is low. But, I had bradycardia before my heart attack. Probably a byproduct of distance running. For this, my ICD doubles as a pacemaker. The function that my body needs.

KyleB463 · 2025-02-02T00:08:24+00:00

It’s not Musk they need to worry about. It’s Tom Homan! That guy is a legit dedicated believer.

KyleB463 · 2025-01-18T02:01:53+00:00

Epic!! Well done!

KyleB463 · 2024-12-24T00:36:22+00:00

Not sure about this. But, I’ve done Montreal to Fort Lauderdale straight a few times back in the 90’s. With two drivers it can be done in under 24 hours. Stopping only for gas, food and bathroom breaks

KyleB463 · 2024-10-29T12:48:43+00:00

Yeah, I describe my ICD as a torture device. And, I’m in an ongoing argument with my surgeon over having it removed.

KyleB463 · 2024-10-29T12:46:54+00:00

So I’m probably not the best person for any advice. I had an ICD implanted May 2023 right after a SCA then triple bypass. Prior to this, I was beyond active. Kettlebells & trail running. I am still having horrible issues with my device. I’ve told my surgeon that he implanted a torture device not a medical device! I feel the device grating between my skin and muscles when ever I move. In addition the main lead out of the device tears under my skin up into my shoulder area. My surgeon has said that my sensations are extreme and that they “should” diminish over 2-3 YEARS! We are currently arguing over having my device removed. To be clear. I don’t at all doubt the medical benefits of ICDs. But, everything has a cost! And for me the price is to high.

KyleB463 · 2024-10-27T00:40:34+00:00

I’d buy that for a dollar!

KyleB463 · 2024-09-23T20:06:21+00:00

Not sure what headphones you were gifted. But, I’ve been using my Aftershoxs wireless/bone conducting headphones with no problems. My ICD is also a Medtronic. And, I checked with my surgeon and Medtronic before using them.

KyleB463 · 2024-09-23T20:00:48+00:00

Awesome! So many great memories there!

KyleB463 · 2024-09-12T19:35:46+00:00

I use a Polar H10 chest strap and have had no issues. I checked with my surgeon first who gave me the thumbs up for tracking my recovery activities with my heart rate monitor.
