D day!

Well the time is at hand. Did all my pre testing today. Ablation at 9 am in morning! Off flecainide since last Wednesday with o episodes and actually performed chores etc with better feeling as the flec side effect for me is LBBB at low rate. My transmission on car went out coming back from hospital and a couple other negative things so I find myself wondering if someone is trying to tell me something......like "don't do it!" So even thru this stress and no flec and performing some taxing chores...no afib! What the Heck is going on here? Man this is making me second guess my decision. I want to thank Shannon and all of you who have contributed here it has helped me get to this point. Anyone that wants to "shove" me off the gang plank feel free as I am very apprehensive.

Bon voyage Tsco and you will do fine! the car thing is telling you nothing but that its time to fix your car right after you get your heart fixed.
This is the period just before a first ablation call the willy's where the reptilian brain takes over for a bit with fight or flight issues that are nothing more than a chicken running around without a head trying to figure out if the sky is really falling.

Don't listen to it, watch a nice movie and hit the hay early.

Its just taking a big step toward a quieter heart long term.

No worries and best wishes!
Shannon

Thanks Shannon and if that Tomassoni video you view this week at your conference is male and 52 years old. It's me! Have fun and thanks for the support
Tim

Will do, I'll try to take a snapshot with my Iphone of your procedure!

Enjoy dreamland with the Propofol tomorrow!

Tsco,

The very same thing has happened to me. I went off my metoprolol and have had a very quiet heart overall, though have had some tach off and on. It made me wonder what was going on! But I definitely am going through with my ablation on Thursday. I know the heart can be quiet for a long time and then start acting up again out of the blue. Hang in there and stick with the surgery. You'll be glad in the long run.

You will be in my prayers all day tomorrow and through recovery. May the Lord guide the surgeon's hands and give you quick healing.

Blessings,
Nancy M

Best of luck to you too Nancy, it seems like this is ablation
week around here with you, Smackman and Tsco all jumping over the fence to greener pastures this week! You are in very good hands too and it will soon be over before you know it.

Will be thinking of you too Nancy on Thursday while I'm watching Smackman's ablation live in Austin and Tscos recorded from today, Tuesday, that will be shown to us a little later on Thursday late morning.

Be well and take it easy!
Shannon
