Hi Kanaaz,
Everything went very well at my 6th month follow up appointment. Thank you so much for asking! The PA I saw did not think the amount of PVC's I was experiencing was anything to worry about. He did say at my age, (68) that it was not unusual for "complete" healing to take 6 months or even a bit longer. When I asked him about wearing a monitor just to make sure these were PVC's and not the return of AFIB, I got the definite impression he didn't think it was necessary, but said if it would give me some peace of mind, he would order it. I am now just waiting to hear it's been OK'd by the insurance company, then I'll go in and have it put on. Since the appointment, I haven't noticed ANY PVC's, don't ya just know, so wonder if it's my damn anxiety messin' with me again. Thanks also for the kind words about my attitude not stopping me from reaching out for help. You make me sound MUCH braver than I am. Most of the time I wait to get help until I'm a huge puddle of anxiety and just can't take it any longer...….I like your version better! I'll drop a note when the monitor report comes back.
