@basgal I understand. I'm a female Afib patient and while I haven't cried yet, I have felt like it. Especially back in August for my first one, then October for some touchup and the Watchman. Just returned home last night from a quick return trip for my first TEE to check on the Watchman. All was well. Yesterday was the first visit I felt calm & relaxed. First two trips I was so stressed . . . nervous as a long tailed cat in a room full of rocking chairs as my old Great Uncle Sam use to say (I loved his old sayings as a kid growing up LOL). YES Travel is 100% worth it. Yesterdays trip, we were barely there 24 hours and overnight at hotel, Uber & Lyft are great, and even though this trip wasn't non-stop flights it beats the heck out of driving like we did that first trip in August where it was very close to 2,000 miles there and back. I chose to do that because I hadn't flown since Afib diagnosis and last flights were international in Fall of 2022 right before diagnosis. Unfortunately I do have a leaky valve so will have to start that journey but they said it wasn't urgent but that it could have led to my Afib. Best wishes for your Blanking Period~!!!!
