Thank you for your story! It is encouraging and positive. If I could stay out of A-fib for 14 years I would be too old to care! 🙂 Seriously, I just wondered why the doc recommended the Watchman when you were okay before they put it in? Did you have side effects from the blood thinner? That concerns me too. How thin is thin enough for someone who is out of A-fib for a long period of time? Anyway, I so appreciate your feedback. I am trying to be hopeful and every day with a NSR is a good day so far!
