Out of circulation.

Just had confirmation that I have a bed for tomorrow (15th August) for my ablation for atrial tachycardia. Of course I have been feeling fine for the last couple of months but now my BP is in orbit and I have the shakes so yes newbies this is quite normal. I now have to catch a train to London, stay in a Travel Lodge tonight (other budget hotels are available) and pitch up at Royal Brompton just as the sparrows are waking up.

With luck and a following wind (sorry about that its called fear) I shall be home Friday evening if my dear wife Sam can find her way by car to collect me.

And anybody who tells me to read the fact sheets--- Flapjack beat you to it..

Bob I haven’t circulated very much recently, long story why - but I just had to say that some time ago I believe you recommended me to the Royal Brompton, which I took up, where six months ago I had the AF ablation for PAF, Dr Tom Wong was brilliant and I now tick over at between 62 and 70 bpm - no Afib. - Hope you have the same experience - Best wishes and good luck.

The best of luck, mate. The success rate for AT ablation is very high at 90%+, a lot higher than for AF, so this should fix it good and proper. I'm glad you're going to London, are you seeing Sabine?

When my hubby went into the Heart Hospital for a similar treatment I elected to go with him. Other went into town and spent a few hours shopping, it took my mind off it! Although he seemed a little concerned about the bank balance!
