Ablation with damage from the catheter

3 weeks post Ablation, climbed the stairs (slowly) for the first time without arrhythmia. My heart is healing well . . . but suffering from the collateral damage in my leg from the catheter. The aneurysm in my groin has been successfully repaired . . . the blood that leaked into my leg has pooled in pockets and formed clots, but not in my veins, so no danger of traveling. It will take months for this to be absorbed and go away and for the numb areas to return to normal. I can gradually increase activity, but mostly feel tired from sleepless nights of leg pain. I will continue to live downstairs and close to home for a while longer.

AFIB free so far !
