Ablation date

[Ianp66]

Hi peeps,happy new year to all.

I haven't posted for a while been trying to not think about the heart for while or read anything gets me thinking of it all. I got the call yesterday from freeman hospital, with an ablation procedure date for the 12th. Been 8 months in coming and now the nerves set in . At 52 they said there is a good chance that it will be of some success. Any tips or advice grateful , I know rest for first week is imperative, is the stairs possible or best to have a bed downstairs for the first week or so? .

The best advice we can offer is to suggest you read these two fact sheets. If you want to know more, just ask. Best of luck and please let us know how you get on.....

Rest for the first two weeks, at least.

Stairs are fine, but just take your time.

All the best for the procedure

Thanks mate

I had no problems at all with stairs and you're only 52 so should hardly be a concern.

I know that you should not overdo things but just be sensible. So no running or weight lifting. Spoil yourself for the first week ( that's if no one else will !)

Good luck!

Hi , good luck. I am two weeks in now after my ablation and feel good. I have had a lot of rest and taken things steady so I would do same

Sounds like your doing great, nice to hear. Looks like a couple of weeks rest on the cards.
