If you have a pacemaker do you still have to avoid microwave ovens?

Help! Doing a pacemaker and doc is saying
threshold testing revealed R wave sensing at 22 millivolts and a pacing threshold of 1.2 volts at 0.5 milliseconds and 600 ***ABMs****??? Any EP geniuses out there that can help me???
Pacemaker
My husband has a pacemaker, and he has no problems being around the microwave. His doctor said it was fine. The only thing he has to worry about is the x-ray machine at airports. They also said his pacemaker might set off the alarms in stores too, but so far so good.
Me too, only in the oven. Yum. nm

Is that microwave?
I used to eat the Microwave stuff until it gave me headaches. Do miss it though, it was great!
I still have my first microwave--big thing. sm
Got it for Christmas the second year we were married. Still works great, too! I can cook a whole meal in it.
hahah, just got my 1st microwave
2 yr ago -- didn't think i 'wanted' one -- but i've been converted :)
Next time cook it in the oven wrapped in foil. sm
This recipe is from pre-crockpot era.
Double wrap the roast in foil. Poke holes in the foil with a fork and put the roast with the poked holes side down on the broiler pan. Bake at 350 according to the size of the roast per pound. Very yummy and very easy. Pan drippings make the best gravy.

How long do you normally cooked a precooked ham and at what oven temperature do you do this. Thanks.

If you microwave your sponge for 30 seconds, supposedly
it kills the germs and bacteria. Or use bleach water for cleaning. I don't know, I almost started a fire with my sponge putting it in the microwave for a minute. I only use washcloths and a fresh one every day or after cleaning up meat juice. Commercials like that are preying on the fears of consumers to reap profit.
I remember our 1st microwave too...thought we were *uptown*
And the old Atari game...we were the only ones in the neighborhood that had one! How about the S&H greenstamp stores....don't know if these were only in the south or not, but I remember filling those stamp books up and going to the store...my sister and I bought a Billy Joel album...yes album! 
Yes, it's microwave popcorn - best invention since the wheel! - nm
Oh, me too!!! When I got my first microwave (very expensive) we all watched the bacon cooking.

i'd worry more about that's getting into the food, from the bowl. Microwave doesn't sound
I use a little handheld digital timer from Pyrex (our oven timer doesn't work) - sm
and it's great, has two digital windows, clock on top, counter (which is what I use) on the bottem, then you can switch "modes" to a screen with 2 timers if that is what you want. Cost about $10. So I time myself more now since it helps me buckle down and I see who I am fastest at this way.....average anywhere from 12-18 minutes of dictation an hour doing this--- unfortunately I spend too much time looking up addresses but I hope my address directory will be to the point one day where I don't have to look up anymore (or at least not much). Have fun.
What temperature do you normally cook your fish at. I find sometimes that in the oven the fish seems
to have a lot of or water coming out and it doesnt get done nicely. Not sure what I am doing wrong.
