As a follow-up from Marilyn's fall last year, she was sent to talk to a cardiologist on Tuesday. It didn't take him long to discover an issue with her right carotid artery so he has booked her in for a pacemaker to be fitted. That will happen on Thursday next week in Hobart.
Of course, we have no idea how all this all fits together so a search of the Internet is our first step. It seems Marilyn has something called Carotid Sinus Hypersensitivity, and the pacemaker is the best treatment. One of the articles was a report of a study to see how effective the treatment is.
The best thing is that the study was carried out at the Falls Fits Faints and Funny Turns Clinic in Edinburgh. It sounds even funnier in a Scottish accent.
