Congratulations on every small clawback, and for being courageous and determined to do so. Some might want to fold, while others such as yourself begin the laborious process of gaining back what they've lost.

Are you saying that each small bout of AF actually helps your memory a bit? I think that's what I'm reading. If so, it's remarkable. I could see AF causing short term cognitive and memory deficits, much like poor ejection fraction and valvular problems or stenosed carotid arteries cause in some cases. I am at a loss to explain how your occasional AF might improve your recall a little. Maybe a 'gift horse?' 😀
