Feelings of anxiety post ablation

Wow! Life throws a curve! When I had my ablation scheduled for March 4th after waiting for two years - a waiting list due to funding here in Canada - in February my husband fell on black ice walking the dog and torn his knee tendon and had to have surgery - so when I got home from my surgery I had to nurse him back to health while I recuperated myself - a definite test for my heart and marriage! Ha! We made it through okay. So yes, let us know how you do after the ablation - they will tell you that there is a blanking phase after it when you can get palpitations and that this is normal as the heart is healing, etc. You’ll be just fine. xo

Thank you for the encouragement. Hope your husband is doing okay. Isn't it funny how we think things are rough until something really happens that is "rough" and we somehow make it through. (BTW: dear Canada, how we normal Americans appreciate your decency and courage standing up to our present bully administration.) How was the recovery period from your ablation. I was told no heavy exercise for at least a week. We go to the gym every day so this is going to be a change for me. My husband is thrilled, however! LOL Did you feel better after a few days? I'm not too worried, but I am a do-er so I don't know how long I can just sit still! xo
