Ablation date......next wednesday!

[dedeottie]

After 7 months of waiting I now have a cancellation for next wednesday. The good news is that I havnt got much time to think about it and I am fairly busy all week so that is also good. I have to come of the flecanide 3 days before and am not looking forward to that but at least I will be in hospital before i am likely to feel the full effects ( i hope ).

So I go in on the 10th ablation on 11th home on 12th all being well.

I am not feeling quite so brave as I was but know that my nerves are unfounded as all was perfectly fine last time.

I will try not to winge as the week goes on and mostly I am just glad i have a date. X

May it do the trick and sort out your AF in a big way.

Thanks. I hope you are feeling a little better than last week. X

[CDreamer in reply to dedeottie]

Yes thank you, I managed to get to Spain with a lot of help, only to find the weather here cloudy and cool whilst looks like UK is sunny and heat wave about to descend - c'est la vie!  It is good to relax.

Look forward to hearing how you get on, positive thoughts for you, CD

Interesting. They told me to stop flecainide 5 days before

[dedeottie in reply to MS444]

Im not looking forward to stopping. Did you stop all at once? I had been hoping to stop gradually but because i got a cancellation there is no chance of doing that. X

[MS444 in reply to dedeottie]

I was nervous stopping, because I thought I might get AF a day or so before the operation and have to take a big dose of flecainide to stop it. As it turned out I did get it the day before. Something remarkable happened. It stopped after only two hours and I didn't take a pill. I'd never had an episode that stopped in less than 12 hours without flecainide. So I guess you just have to do it!

Regards,

Mike

Thanks. Yes, there is nothing for it but to bite the bullet ! X

[porridgequeen]

Mine was a cancellation too,  no time to worry and it's all over so quickly.  Best of luck.

Good news! The waiting is so stressful.  I'm really happy for you...now it will be over soon.  This is a good thing!  In the meantime, walk and meditate......breathe.
