Hi Susan,
You should not need to apply any pressure to the catheter access site in the two groin areas at this stage after your LAA-iso ablation.

Susan,
I strongly urge you to follow Dr. Natale’s specific instructions for you, via his Los Roblos NP Kelley, during the first few weeks post ablation.
Cheers!
Shannon

I am happy you posted because I have had a nagging curiosity question. Kind of two.
You reiterated a story a few times about how you went biking 50 miles in a very challenging terrain after 3 days post ablation. I used to bike. Going uphill was standing off my seat pumping the pedals. That must have had hurt your plug sites something awful after three days post ablation! Yeah?

Secondly, how on earth did you observe the ten pound weight limit restriction while either getting your bike out of your garage, perhaps lifting it off a vertical hook maybe...?...and then place it in your car without lifting? Did you get a volunteer? I ask that question because I wasn’t allowed to push my 4 wheel suitcase after my ablation. Same principle of pushing your bike out of your garage. It’s still pushing weight. Plus with biking, you must had taken a break. It’s 50 miles. My kickstand never 100% worked so that means it’s possible you bent over to lift your bike off the ground. What if you fell off your bike? Did you have a plan B on how to lift back your bike while observing the weight restrictions?

You are fortunate and lucky. Last night my husband wanted to clean out my koi pond’s skimmer pit and he lifted and pulled out a less than 2 pound plastic basket out of the enclosure and didn’t know how to put it back. 3 out of my 4 pond guys can’t either-its tricky. It wasn’t originally installed correctly. So I had to semi swat with knees bent (attempting to apply pressure to my plugs) to drop down the two pound plastic basket at a slight angle to ground level and click it in while keeping the welt door closed. It was a painful plug area experience not to repeat until I’m healed. Same as swatting to pick up something off my floor in the house since I’m instructed by my np to continue groin pressure until tonight.Quote

my bike doesn’t even have a kickstand.
