Wonderful! I hope you breeze through the blanking period and that your Holter at about 10-12 weeks shows only the normal odd pause, a PAC or two, and nothing else...which would be perfectly normal for healthy people. You sound like you're following instructions, but also listening to your 'energy' level as it might be wavy over the next two weeks. Your heart needs to heal, and it might need some rest for now...but you be the judge.
Did you find that the real pain was in lying flat on your back for three/four hours watching the world go by? 😀
I wasn't thrilled about having to need a second ablation inside of, oh, ten years, but....it was seven months. Fortunately, the kindly gentleman EP started all over again at the first pulmonary vein and began to zap around its mouth. When he got to my third vein, as he was holding the tip to some tissue to form the lesion, my heart lurched back into sinus rhythm, and they all stood back and watched for consistency on the monitor. I was good! He had found the small gap he had left the previous time. He didn't even cardiovert me before letting the orderly whisk my unconscious self out into the hallway and shout, 'NEXT?'
I am very pleased for your report, and pleased that you felt you needed to come back and tell us how it went. May it be your last post for many years.

Hi! Gee you have sure been through a lot! Yes, what a literal pain in the back lying there flat for three hours. The bleeding came back on the right groin so they compressed it again. I stayed in Recovery a little longer to make sure the bleeding stopped and my heart rate was good. Awesome nurses and staff! Today I feel a little better some energy and some tiredness to be expected. Amazing what they can do these days. I’ll let you know the results of the holter later on. Thank you again for your guidance and support. xo
