Pacemaker Installation or Implantation.
Used in a sentence: "I could tell when I typed it in an email to my family that it seemed like the wrong choice of word -- but I just couldn't decide if it was a Pacemaker Installation or Implantation."
Either way, my biological father is currently out of his usual spot in Lebanon's nursing home and in the Ephrata Community Hospital (via the VA) to have a pacemaker installed (or implanted ... or imbued -- must ... look ... away ... from ... the ... thesaurus ...).
Apparently, it's an easy surgery ... I'm assuming it's also easy for an 88 year old who's had lots of previous cardiac attention ... therefore I'm thinking that all should return to normal soon enough. But for those of you whom I've seen take requests, feel free to say a prayer or send "recovery" thoughts his way.
If only I was finding out this news 48 hours ago, then I could have ended the post with: Ralph's chances of ever riding on a rollercoaster ever again, you will be missed.
