I had my first (and hopefully last) ablation on March 2. I too reported what appeared to be excessive bruising and lumps at the entry sites in the groin, but they quickly healed. and now, mid July, I am starting to really feel a bit better. It's all about managing expectations. Mine were way off as I thought this was like an outpatient procedure I could just walk away from as if I were 25 again. The impact of the general anesthesia and the "blanking period" actually take much longer, but be patient and resume your healthy lifestyle as soon as your care team recommends.
