For Frederick M. Hueston, the answer was to lean on a pacemaker, laugh at its quirks, and keep moving forward.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThen, on April 13th, everything changed. His pacemaker was removed and replaced with something far greater: a brand-new heart.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis 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.
