@marianne103 Bless you, marriane103. Your mind is sometimes going to be your worst hindrance if it is fearful......but fear comes mostly from a lack of understanding or enlightenment..............knowledge. We're all different in how we approach life-changing conditions when they take place. I have to know about stuff. When my own heart began to fibrillate, I spent hours reading up on the condition and how it is treated. Pretty much any arrhythmia can be treated, although sometimes the treatment is a pacemaker. Once that happens, your heart must depend on that device for the rest of your life (they need maintenance and occasionally replacement or upgrading). It's not like there aren't 100M humans alive today with pacemakers keeping them there. And very contentedly and active, thanks very much. 🙂
