Hello everyone,

I just received the call that everyone that has ever battled afib dreams of.....it's ok to stop your anticoagulant. Since my index ablation 6/29 with Dr.Natale I have been in NSR that has been confirmed via my weekly medilynx strips, alivecor, and a 7 day holter. Today is a good day!!

Really enjoyed our conversation on the phone yesterday Ron and the very good news you are now well past blanking with only solid NSR and can stop all OAC drug too!

As noted yesterday, the remaining minor remnants from the ablation will continue fading away as well with some passing time and it's good to hear too you are ready to start increasing the exercise a bit more again, keeping it not too crazy intensity, an thus be able to tone up some more again over the coming weeks and months.

Take care and keep us posted along the way.

And Apache, minor to moderate phrenic nerve stunning typicalky takes from 4 to 6 months to fade away. In some case a few months longer but it gradually improves over a bit of time.

Congratulations, Ron! That IS good news! I just had another TEE and can reduce my Eliquis to the lowest dose, but alas, am still on it. Not a big deal really, as it doesn't seem to affect me in any noticeable way. Of course, I would love to be totally off of it, but I also don't want to push it and be sorry I wasn't on it either.

Sounds like it's time for a huge sigh of relief that you are now "on the other side" again..smiling smiley

Be well ~ Barb
