Jackie,
Thanks for the update on Jim. It sounds very encouraging. Give him my best if you talk to him again.
As for me, I couldn't be better. Not a hint of AF in the nine days since the ablation. Before the ablation, I went into AF every three or four days on average. I logged my first "two beer night" in two years last night (with the blessing of the Cleveland Clinic, which gave me the green light to resume drinking moderately). My mental state is sky high. I didn't realize how much AF affected my life negatively. It is way to early to talk cure, since a lot can happen during the next three months of healing, but I sure am off to a good start. Dr. Natale's "magic hands" may have worked.
Your 12 November date is getting closer. Relax. The whole deal is a piece of cake.
Regards,
Newman
