Hi all!
Just had my first PVI ablation done on Friday under general anaesthetic. Apparently it went to plan!
What's the best thinking on the next couple of weeks? Complete sofa rest or some gentle walking, building up gradually? It's hard to find info on any sites as to exactly how much or how little to do! Your experience would be very valuable!! The hospital said to do as the body felt. I'm concerned about undoing any of their good work by being active too soon...
Thank you for all your posts here - especially to BobD, whose posts are a constant source of guidance!
Wishing you all well in your journeys!
Best

Very best to you all,

Hi James..good to hear it all went to plan.
Your hospitals advice is probably about right but for the first week at least just spoil yourself and do very little. I did this for the first week following my 3 ablations although I was able to prepare and cook meals at home for husband. Second week was out driving and shopping but no heavy work. Felt fine afterwards but others have different tales. Listen to your body after the 2 week ' lying In' period and you should hopefully be fine.
I don't think thst gentle walking in week two will do any harm if you feel like it
Best wishes

Hi Sandra,
Thank you very much for your reply! I'm glad that you felt fine! Thank you for your advice!
That's very helpful!
I already tried a gentle walk, which seemed ok - a few meters from the front door to the bench in the sun, which felt nice!
Thanks for your words!
All the best to you!
James
