I did it...

I had my ablation on Monday.
I'm almost afraid to say anything, for fear of jinxing it, but my heart sure feels nice and calm and wonderful now.

I hope I'm lucky and it stays this way. (Everything I read here makes me nervous about feeling so good.)
Any advice on how to make a good ablation stick?

Yay for you!

Just take it easy and enjoy normal sinus rhythm. Revel in it!

And don't get discouraged if you hit the bumps in the road. It's part of the blanking period. It will pass and it doesn't indicate failure.

I will try to remember that, and try not to freak out if it gets a little weird. But I sure hope it doesn't!!!! (I really don't want a repeat ablation!!!!)

Now I really wonder how long I've had this problem.... As if this is how I'm supposed to feel I think I've been off much longer than my May diagnosis.

Amen to that! (Hopeany bumps you might hit bolimasa aren’t as bad as the one I’m caught up in at the moment!)

Here's to a gentle blanking period and long-term NSR thumbs up

Happy reading you're fine and in NSR.
Keep quiet.
All the best wishes.

It’ll all be good. “Bumps” are just that. Bumps. Not going to hurt you and will be rear-view mirror anecdotes in short time.

Thanks Bolimasa!

Yes that rather hard bump I took has levelled out. (Not AF thankfully rather a whole bunch runs of atrial ectopics interspersed with some NSR.)

You're going to be fine!
