3rd times the charm? Hope so.

Had a call on Tuesday that I could have an ablation on Friday. Fitted in all the prep tests and got it done! Less time to fret and worry this way. Had already had a heart CT scan in March before Covid canceled that scheduled date. So did the the blood work and Covid tests. Then they did the tee/toe right before the ablation. It was quite the day of anesthesia! Still feeling really dopey and light headed. Had a lovely quiet private room in the hospital w a delightful nursing staff. Now home and hoping this time it worked. New dr who I have much more faith in. Time to reread the fact sheets, so I remember what to expect.

Yes, it will have to. Luckily I’d already planted my fall veggies. All we need to do is water. Other big garden projects are on hold. I did pick all the ripe tomatoes today. Yum!

Re-read the recovery fact sheet. Had honestly forgotten how useful and reassuring it is. Thanks to all who were involved in writing it!

Good to hear all went well. I had my 3rd ablation at short notice much the same as you. Far better as not much time to allow worrying. Hope you can reap benefits from your ablation. Best wishes. Jean
