What do you do when your heart needs backup? For Frederick M. Hueston, the answer was to lean on a pacemaker, laugh at its quirks, and keep moving forward.
For more than a decade, Fred lived with what he called his "built-in EMT," a pacemaker and defibrillator that gave him peace of mind, energy, and the ability to finally sleep without fear. Along the way came the false alarms, the awkward TSA pat-downs, the mysterious 2 a.m. beeps, and enough stories to prove that life with a pacemaker is anything but boring.
Then, on April 13th, everything changed. His pacemaker was removed and replaced with something far greater: a brand-new heart.
This book is part memoir, part survival guide, and part comedy routine for anyone living with a pacemaker or anyone curious about what it feels like to wait for a transplant and get a second chance at life. Fred blends honesty, humor, and resilience to show that while pacemaker life isn't always easy, it is still life worth living.
Inside you'll find:
A plain-English look at how pacemakers work (with jokes included).
Stories of false alarms, first shocks, and learning when not to panic.
The lighter side of TSA pat-downs, hospital food, and random chest buzzes.
Reflections on gratitude, fear, resilience, and what it feels like to finally receive a new heart.
Whether you're a patient, a caregiver, or simply someone who wants to understand what this journey feels like, Me and My Pacemaker offers comfort, laughs, and hope, all beating strong on every page.
