Oops - A Month Late and 6.6 years later

I almost forgot my 6 month update!! Shame on me.

Still in NSR 6.6 years after Natale did my ablation in Marin County,CA. I was 24/7 - now, never a flutter. Only Afib related med I take is one adult aspirin daily. Turned 72yo in November.

Daily exercise schedule remains about the same. 20-40 mile bicycle rides - about 100 miles per week. I have increased my swimming and am getting better, doing about 6 hours per week. Continuing my walking. Continuing the intense resistive exercises - planks, bench press, dips, etc., etc. On my 72nd birthdayI did 72 consecutive pushups. I do a lot of stretching to help with some hip pain.

Continuing my strong advocacy for individuals with disabilities - I write/edit an article a week for our legislature

and, of course, the never ending waitlist for services:

Have a great year everyone. Hopefully I will see update in 6 months.

Fox, that's inspiring. Thanks and best wishes for continued NSR.

God Bless you and you have every right to be cocky!
Wow 24/7 and cured as far as I'm concerned.
Good to see more permanent affibers with successful ablations!

Very inspiring, Denver! I can only imagine the freedom you must feel at not having to worry when the next time will be....congratulations and continued NSR always.

Thanks for keeping us updated and encouraged ~ Barb

Thanks for all the comments.

I don't post to be "cocky." I post what I do so that folks can see that some of us continue with a high level of physical activity (which has long been a subject of much discussion on these forums - the amount of physical activity one can have after an ablation), and that being 72 is not a "dead-end" street and the end of life.

I also post to keep some of the folks that I know here on the forum updated. Although I don't usually participate, I sometimes read the posts.

So, everyone, take what I post for what it is worth. The rantings and ravings of someone (now 72), who went against the MD's advice - who told me to "learn to live with 24/7 afib - it was just a minor inconvenience - almost 7 years ago, went to CA (Marin County) for an ablation by Natale, who - at the time - was there 2 days per month.

I wonder what that doc would do if he was in afib 24/7?

And, again, good luck to all of you.

Denver,
To us Affibers cocky is a compliment! That you can do what you do at your age gives us all hope!
Post away my man no disrespect meant at all!
