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, other than an an ER10, those dead ones suck!!!!!!!!!

Chris,
I had an ablation and version done this spring, just had a follow up echo last week and met with the cardiologist yesterday, fit as a fiddle!!!
Peed for 4 days every 20 minutes after the version from the CardioElectroPhysiologist, ant that a mouth full!!! Shoes fit much better now!!!

Bob, I know the feeling. Went in Friday at 194, went home Saturday at 215! 192 this morning! Whew!!!

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....

Glad to hear the signs are good...best wishes for continued successful recovery. I have 2 friends who had ablations and they are doing fine.

Anyone else notice who posted 4 posts earlier(who is no longer with us). Wonder if he was misdiagnosed?
