Michelle had an appointment today (Friday) to have an implantable defibrillator (ICD) installed near her left collar bone - it's like having a couple of paramedics following her around just in case.
Here's a device similar to hers - it's actually pretty tiny, considering it can last 5-7 years without needing the change the battery.
There are a lot of different varieties of the device - hers doesn't need to do any pacemaker duties - it will just sit, wait, and monitor in case there's any kind of problem that requires the device to 'deliver therapy' which is a nice was of saying 'it zaps you'.

Sunday Update!
Michelle's recovering well, she was released from the hospital early Saturday afternoon. It's good to be home, and she's doing great.
