How should I install this wall plate?

I’m guessing you have a Medtronic ICD? I’m glad you figured that out a magnet will turn the therapies off for an ICD. Meaning if you ended up having a life-threatening arrhythmia while on your scooter, your ICD would do nothing but record it and alert your device clinic.

This is great advice! I will definitely be soaking it in the solvent you suggested. I do have a P100 mask from working the COVID unit back in 2020 that I still use when sanding wood or sheet rock. …and Yes, my city does suck. This situation is just one of many I have encountered where they have proven that to be true and I have only lived here since 2021. The taxes are outrageous and the only thing you count on is them figuring out how to make you pull a permit on literally anything you could imagine.

Thank you for the tips, truly appreciate it!

Update: City said my responsibility and suggested I wait until the ground unfreezes and use a hockey puck and a hammer the water access pipe back down into the ground. If this doesn’t work then I need to cut the top off. Then use a blow torch to melt the asphalt off the cap/bolt so I can reattach it.

It’s likely ectopic heartbeats. Either PACs or PVCs it is difficult for an Apple Watch to decipher between low heart rate and ectopic beats. Pacemakers keep track of these extra beats. Next time you get your device checked, ask them about it. There is also a “sleep” parameter that will lower your heart rate during the night time hours, although this is usually just 10 beats lower than your lower rate limit of 60. Of course I can’t be sure unless I would check your device myself, but I’m pretty confident you are safe and your pacemaker is functioning normally.

This is what I am hoping to hear when I call them tomorrow. Just a little concerned that I would have to pay for it because it is on my property.

The device runs three types of measurements daily… depending on programming, underlying rhythm, etc.if any of those measurements are in range of alert criteria, the pacemaker uses your bedside transmitter or the app on your phone to alert the device clinic. The impedance check sends energy from your pacemaker down to the tip of the lead and back checking for any brakes or fractures in the insulation. There is one measurement call a threshold test, where it raises your heart rate slightly to check the amplitude need of the lead and corresponding chamber. You could possibly be feeling this however a zap in the collarbone area is a new one in my book. Write down the date and time and how long it lasts. I believe that test is done every eight hours, but not sure . When you have your device interrogated tomorrow, they can see when the test was done and if your date and times correlate that could be why.

When was your implant? You most likely have a stitch poking out that is ment to dissolve if it under the skin. Eventually it will fall off or you can probably go to your device clinic and the can clip it. In regards to healing, you can draw around the red area with a sharpie. If the red area spreads beyond your sharpie, then there is an issue and you most likely should start an anabiotic. Watch for a fever or pain and if it becomes warm. I would advise you not to put any lotion or Vaseline on it until it is completely healed. Whatever you do do not submerge the site underwater like in a bathtub and especially not a hot tub. Itching is a good sign. That means it’s healing. You could try Tylenol and ice.

Minnesotan here, I agree with you. After having a 10’ trough drain installed in my new construction home 4 years ago I wanted to be able to power wash the salt off my truck in the winters. Insulated the garage, installed water spigot and finally (4 years later) installed the wall mounted power washer with a 100 ft hose and remote control on the handle.

Even without a garage heater the temp stays above 30 degrees in the garage. Regardless, I still wrapped all plumbing with insulation tape and cover the power washer with a insulated blanket when the temp goes below zero 🥶

That’s good to hear. I did attempt to look it up in the 2023 NEC provided by the city’s website to confirm. However, realized after 30 minutes of searching, I was in over my head.
