So on Tuesday this week I went in for a scheduled catheter ablation for my Atrial Fibrillation.
I'm feeling fairly normal again today (Friday) — still slightly sore around the groin area where the doctor went in with the probes (I have some some nice bruises there!) But no chest pain and I can move around just dine. The worst part of the procedure was that it took the nurses three sticks to find a vein they could use for the anesthesia — they finally got one in my left hand.
About 6 hours from the time they put me under, I was released and sent home. The doctor seemed happy and said that my heart itself looked fine and we’d caught everything early. Good to know! Let's hope the procedure doesn't need to be repeated (as it sometimes does). I could do without that.
Glad to be home again and feeling decent, though I got very little of anything productive done in the last few days.
