Thanks, teacher,

I want to add that the ablation procedure itself was easy-peasy, pain free (except the sore throat the following day from being intubated). I'm the biggest chicken ever when it comes to invasive procedures -- I work in the legal field and only ever hear about the things that go wrong, not all the ones that go right -- but for this, I went in in the morning, was put thoroughly to sleep, woke up under a warm blanket three hours later, and have not had an AFib episode since. I had no pain in the chest or at the groin site; I wasn't even especially tired or groggy or anything at all. If you're feeling anxious, it's completely understandable, but hopefully you'll remember that this scaredy cat near Seattle got through it with no problems, so you will, too. 🙂
