So my EP doc came to see me. I have a whole new arrhythmia. This time it is all VF. The good news is he is starting me on tikkeson. He will also be doing a small Cath to check all of the cardiac arteries. If this doesn't work he will go in and cut my adrenaline nerve cut so that these arrhythmias don't get any back up to make them worse.

My husband on the other hand........if this keeps up all the holes he has dug in the backyard he has been digging just in case maybe just for him. Well at least I have choices. ( my morbid sense of humor my husband and I share.)

That's a relief now that there's a plan for your treatment. I'll be interested to see how you progress.

Wishing you well.

Is this the procedure he is going to perform?

Cutting the sympathetic nerve from my adrenaline will be cut only if the med doesn't work. But I will find out more later today or tomorrow after my Cath later today. Today I will pretty much be Sudafed. I'm getting a pic line placed this morning and the Cath this afternoon. I promise to keep you posted.

Yea as a matter of fact after reading the article I think I will push for it.

Oh Dear, Better make that a big hole. Ventricular fibrillation would doubtless have killed you were it not for your ICD so lucky you. Not sure how that could have happened but so glad you survived . Keep up the sense of humour.
