@catmom777 I can completely understand how devastated you must have been, but it is something you can live with for quite a while. My brother was diagnosed with afib when was 65, and he is now 78. He is in rough shape now, but there are other factors, and he has not taken care of himself nearly as well as he should have. If he had followed the lifestyle that he was told to follow, I am sure he would be going strong. His diet is not good, and he has gotten very little exercise.
