I wish somebody had told me that.

A few days ago we had some posts about post ablation recovery and things nobody told you.

Well I have been asked to prepare a paper which may (note may) be published to contain as many of the things people are not told and worry about after ablation. I have a fair amount of ammo so far but would welcome any thoughts by private message rather than forum please. I don't care how many times I get the same points so don't be shy.

This may be a long journey but as they say, a journey of a thousand miles starts with single step.

Thanks in advance for any input..

I have loads of personal responses to ablations . I think I was a Guinea pig twice.I would rather have not been.

Out the other side but , it was a salutary experience.. Hopefully this proceedure varies in it's application and in it's success rate.

How do I reply privately ?

I have been surprised at amount of vetting I think is on the forum.

Can you listen to music during an ablation?

Not if you are unconscious! lol All mine were under GA. Even if not the sedation should knock you out pretty well. Playing with the fairies is more fun anyway.
