Chris,
I fuck around here, chat and da da da!!! Cornell Hencle dislikes me,freck him too with his dysfunctions.
5 years ago I would faint after waling 50ft!!! I have done 3 Iron Mans, more real Marathons than I can count tonight, the 26.2 mile ones!!!! So they had me set up for a "stress test", all the heart monitors on it, the attending Phyhsiching came in and looked at it, and said you have a A Fib heart, stop this!!! Long story, today just did a follow up after,
quote here!!!!
BUT just did a followup with the cardiologist after last weeks electrocardiogram, shows heart strength, basically an ultra sound of the heart. Back to normal levels.
First and I was always confused with him and we finally got to the meat of it!!! I was missed termed/diagnosed with an A Fib heart, I had an A Flutter heart, close but no cigar, other then a cardiologist would not know the difference looking at the EKGs. Good news they can fix the flutter like they did mine, AND A Fib is a disability, cant fix it!!!! Flutter is not a disability, because a simple fix by today's standards.
I had an ablation then the aversion, or just vise versa!!!???
Dr Hie is my ElctroCardioPhysogist, aint that a mouthful?? After they shocked it back into rhyme, he went up through the Femore Artery, hit the heart with electrolysis to redirect the hearts imposts.

Chris, you will be pissing like a race horse off of the juice, that heart will get rid of all the backed up fluids. A quote from an email to friend.

He said I am lucky on that, and mums the word!!!!"

Chris,
Happy you are doing fine. I had an ablation done when I was in the 50 year old range (now 65) but I was only worked on for a couple of hours and as an out patient procedure. I'm guessing my problem was very different from yours but the 220 beats per minute was very much the same. I have been doing fine since and I'm sure you will also. Good luck.
Regards,
Dwight

Checking in myself! Troubles started 20 months ago, and I went under the operating table for an ablation last Wednesday. About 2 hours in OR. All signs are good now....
