I did not sleep well last night. I was perhaps worrying about my sister. Her heart rate was only 35 yesterday afternoon. In the hospital they have her heart rate up some. She saw a cardiac team of four doctors today. The team is recommending a pacemaker. Tomorrow her regular cardiologist will see her and will decide if she will have a pace maker or pace maker defibrillator. I guess she has some kind of an arrhythmia. I only talked to her on the phone. After my eye doctor appointment tomorrow Bob and I will head to the hospital to see her. My image is Angel. Sleeping on a keyboard. Right now it is her favorite spot.

Angel looks lovely, I suppose the keyboard is warm, cats love warm spots. I hope your sister will feel better, I can understand that you are stressed.

My sister did fine in her surgery but has some swelling in her arm today.

@GardenGerty If surgery went well the arm swelling should resolve soon.

@GardenGerty I am very sorry about your sister. I hope she gets what is best for her. I can also imagine my cat sleeping like that too.

I think my sister feels optimistic about this treatment.

@GardenGerty That helps that she feels optimistic and that is very important.

She is, and she is tiny for an adult cat. I think this is a good move for her health and quality of life.

What would a defibrillator do for her?

At the heart rate of 35, I would think that they need to do an emergency operation to provide her with a pacemaker. From there, it will be constant monitoring and that it needed to be change once every few years.

I think she will get the pacemaker. My husband has a pacemaker/defibrillator. They say it lasts around 9-10 years before you change it. His communicates with his doctor over the internet all the time.
