Had the ablation yesterday, only took just under 3 hours which was good. I have to be honest, it was pretty grim, I think I reacted to something because at one stage I just felt dizzy nauseous and wanted to get away from it. However 24 hours on I feel fine, sore in the groin area and a bit tired, but no AF as yet, slight indigestion feeling but minor. I did bleed a lot through the groin incisions because of the warfarin I guess but firm pressure from the nurses sorted that! The difficulty will be remembering I have had surgery and not try to do too much too soon. Looking forward to a shower in 48 hours! Back to see the consultant in 3 months so guess he thinks it went well too. Just the breast lump to sort and I will be fit as a fiddle hopefully.

Very best wishes for a trouble free recovery. Do take it easy.
Now you need to rest A LOT! take it easy, no lifting. no ironing or washing up or cooking.or housework.

Glad you are OK now. Yes, have an easy time, then get the lump sorted and make the most of another excuse to not do too much! All the best!
It's good to hear that your ablation went well. You just have to rest now and pick up slowly. After my first ablation I had a shower the morning after the procedure. I must admit I can't remember whether I actually asked anyone if I could. I bent down and washed and dried my feet and then when I was discharged I was given a note saying no bending for a period of time. I was a bit like Bob said he was after his first ablation very naive and thinking I was going home and would be running up mountains the next day. What a shock when I couldn't, but I knew absolutely nothing about how I was going to be affected by the procedure other that what I'd read that someone had ran up a mountain a few days later.
Thank goodness for this forum, wish it had been around then.
Good luck with your recovery. Remember to rest and not overdue things. Good luck with the lump also. Wishing you good health.
Well done ! Get well soon !
Well done, good luck with your lumpectomy, take care and look after yourself.
So glad all ok I had mine on Wednesday and at first reacted to the anaesthetic but fine now. Everyone says take it easy which is very good advise.
Best wishes to you and hope all keeps going well. Take it easy though!
So glad all went according to plan. Take it easy and hope the lumpectomy goes ok.
Take care.
Ain't it wonderful! Normal Sinus Rhythm! Baby yourself for the first month. Sleep in late, ignore the chores, don't answer the phone and best of all - don't feel guilty about any of it.
It takes a good while for the groin area to stop feeling sore. I also had tightness in the chest, but after a month most of that eased up.
