Thank all of you who listened to my dithering etc. and replied. I have had no broadband for the last month here as we've moved home to sunny Shropshire.
I am now on the right side of my ablation and hopefully getting over the worst. I had a blip after the first day when I got up, went to the loo and went into AF which didn't stop. I rang the cardio nurse who advised hospital so I went to the local ANE. They diagnosed a heart attack, but later decided it was a hard bout of AF and I came home the next day.
So, thanks again for all the support I've had here. Cheers!
