Version!

Well, I had to share this with you all.

As some of you may know I'm booked in for double ablation 1st June at fairly short notice,so thought I'd sit and re- read the patient advice leaflets.

Sat in our sun room and wondered how my shoulder would be for lying still for ages flat on back. ( Broke it last year and still bit dodgy)

So down on the rug,didn't put cushion for head as thought go for worst case scenario.

While I was there thought I'd try some meditation as being very troubled by lots of AF at present.

Well,it's warm in there and I must have dozed off into deep sleep,not much recently.

Mr W comes in to remind me we are going out,sees me lying apparently collapsed. Rushes over and shakes me ,well I just screeched in shock,and sat up, headbutting him in his stomach( thankfully a soft landing lol)

He was only on one knee and I he went off balance,shouting something about a duck..

Luckily fell against the blanket box we use as coffee table to break his fall.

That's the one on wheels.....

So he and it carry on going, knocking my water glass and paper bin( full obviously) and into the dozing cat.

Cat not impressed and clawed up Mr Ws back. (He's still on about that duck!)

I couldn't get up to help him as physically couldn't as now know I need help to!

Well he came to a halt and we just looked at each other and howled with laughter until tears came.

We had a brief discussion about the merits of putting notes on doors at such times.

He hauled me up ,we sorted carnage and went out on wedding paraphernalia collection and delivery for sons wedding Saturday. ( Isn't there a lot these days? Floral arches, photobooths, all sorts of malarkey)

It was only later after supper I realised I had not noticed any Arrthymias. So took Kardia at 10 pm....NSR!! And none during night ,and NSR today!

So if in desperation at long wait for cardio version,try the Kaito method of sudden shock!

Either that or go to a good comedy show and laugh till you cry!

Thought of you all and wanted to share 😁😁😁

Have a good day all.

Over and out from Wilson Towers!

[wilsond in reply to meadfoot]

Thank you x

[Jalia]

Soo funny! Gave me a good chuckle, the sort of thing which would happen in our house! Glad you're both OK though.

Weddings are so exciting. Hope all goes to plan. Have a wonderful day !

[BobD Volunteer]

It is great to have a good imagination at such times as I even had the sound effects in my head! Best laugh for ages. Hope the duck is OK now and that Hs back isn't too badly clawed.

[wilsond in reply to BobD]

He's bearing up LoL

[Hidden]

Luv it! 😂😂😂

[wilsond in reply to Hidden]

[wilsond]

He's bearing up lol! 😁

[Crackerchops]

Thanks for this. Just what I needed. I hope Mr W and the cat have recovered 😂. Reminds me of Sir Terry Wogan when he would read out one of his antidotes. Thanks.

[wilsond in reply to Crackerchops]

You're welcome! Gkad it cheered you up!

[Bagrat]

Will do lol it was so funny afterwards. Would make a fortune on YouTube 😁

[Kevinder23]

[wilsond in reply to Kevinder23]

Indeed!

[Kevinder23]

Ps what is a double ablation? Pls xx

[wilsond in reply to Kevinder23]

Doing right side for flutter and left for Fib. X

[Singwell in reply to wilsond]

Step to the right, jump to the left. 😉

[baba]

Brilliant!

[jeanjeannie50]

You wouldn't credit it would you, certainly made me laugh! Best wish for a lovely wedding and hope your ablation will be successful.

Jean

[wilsond in reply to jeanjeannie50]

Thanks Jean, yes you couldn't make it up could you 😁👍

[CDreamer]

😂😂😂. It’s always the unexpected that works, thanks for sharing and enjoy NSR and hopefully you won’t need to repeat the procedure…..

[wilsond in reply to CDreamer]

Yes bit drastic lol! 🙂

[Desanthony]

Thanks that made me laugh. 🤣🤣🤣

[Tyson4ever]

🤣🤣🤣

[MummyLuv]

Oh Wilson…. That duck!! 😂😂 what a bonus NSR! May it stay without sending your husband flying again!

[wilsond in reply to MummyLuv]

Haha all good so far, bonus for the wedding on Saturday! 🙂🙂

[Frances123]

Brilliant. Glad you are both ok and duck and cat as well but have to be honest I didn’t want the story to end as I was enjoying it so much. Good luck for 1st of June and enjoy the wedding. 🦆xxx

[wilsond in reply to Frances123]

Just had to share it lol! Thank you xx

[Deacon-L]

Your story has certainly had me starting my day with a good laugh ! Thanks for that. I hope the weekend continues with that positive happy fun… and continued NSR 😀.

[wilsond in reply to Deacon-L]

Thought people would like it! Thanks

[Singwell]

Oh we've had a few of these too! After developing AF and 15 years of interrupted sleep due to snoring we opted for separate bedrooms more or less opposite each other. Couple of days ago I did a long satisfying groan whil stretching. Apparently went completely silent afterwards. Hubster rushed in about a minute later- thought I'd had a heart attack or similar. Glad neither of you sustained an injury though. Keep calm and carry on.

[wilsond in reply to Singwell]

Lol!😁

[Dolly1234566]

Great story! 😅😅 keep us posted. Have a lovely day xx

[wilsond in reply to Dolly1234566]

Thank you will do x

[Fullofheart]

Hilarious....and weirdly familiar! I'm in hospital following ablation number 2 and that made me smile 😃

[wilsond in reply to Fullofheart]

Best wishes to you !

[Ashfield53]

Superb, thanks for providing a great laugh this morning and good luck with the procedure

[wilsond in reply to Ashfield53]

Thank you 😁

[Morzine]

Grin!!!Sue

[wilsond in reply to Morzine]

Grin,😁

[Becksagogo]

Something to tell your grandchildren! Hope the wedding goes well. X

[wilsond in reply to Becksagogo]

Yes indeed! First one due soon. Thank you

[aFibber55]

Duckety duck Wilsond!

Four weddings and the funeral, but not quite 🤣🤣🤣

Sending good vibes for Saturday and beyond.

[wilsond in reply to aFibber55]

Lol! Thank you x

[Maggimunro]

Honestly , you couldn’t make that up! I laughed and laughed.

On a serious note, ask them to wrap you in a Bear Hug whilst on the table. This is a warm air filled bubble wrap to all intents and purposes. I had a spinal fracture some years ago and the 4 hours on the table for my first ablation left me with awful upper back pain. Those catheter lab tables are mighty hard! The Bear Hug worked a treat for my second ablation.

[wilsond in reply to Maggimunro]

No you couldn't! Good tip on the bear hug,I have my pre op on Tuesday and will request it.Thank you xx

[Cha275rL]

Tears of laughter here, imagining what that scenario looked like, and listening to the references to the ‘duck’. Enjoy the wedding, and best of luck on 1st. ❤️

[wilsond in reply to Cha275rL]

Thank you! just had to share!

[LaceyLady]

Sounds an extreme way of getting back into NSR 🤣

[wilsond in reply to LaceyLady]

Indeed!

[ETHEL103]

Fabulous story.

[wilsond in reply to ETHEL103]

Just had to share it xx😁

[ETHEL103 in reply to wilsond]

By the way I got that lovelyheated blanket to lie on during my recent ablation.Very cosy as the cath lab is kept chilly.

[Lbeat796]

So funny..gave me a lol

[Achant1]

Brilliant 🤣

[Threecats]

What a brilliant story😂 Hope the cat isn’t in therapy now🤣 Thank you so much for sharing. I hope there aren’t any repeat performances at your sons wedding! All good wishes to you for that and for your upcoming ablations x

[wilsond in reply to Threecats]

Cat is in a complete Cat Huff! Yes I don't think we'll do an encore soon ! Thank you x

[Windlepoons]

Hilarious. Thank you. 😅 Well of all the techniques I've read on this site for getting back into NSR that must be the most complicated! I think I will stick to Jean's breathing methods lol.

😸

[wilsond in reply to Windlepoons]

Yes I think I will too 😁

[Greekheart]

So funny

[Snowgirl65]

Your story is one for the record books! I might also add that laughter has many times stopped my a-fib episode in its tracks.

[Stb1968]

What would we do without a sense of humor. This started my morning off with a laugh! Good luck on the 1st. Am so glad you both are alright!!!😄

[Figbar]

😂thank you👏

[Jimmy37]

Fantastic

[belindalore]

Oh my goodness. One can't make that stuff happen. Lemony Snickets-A Series of Unfortunate Events! But thank goodness no one seriously injured (maybe the cats pride😂) And look at the outcome. May it stay that way. And happy wedding for your son.

[wilsond in reply to belindalore]

Thank you yes indeed ! Lemony S! Cat is in a huff still😁

[Afibflipper]

What a corker 🤣

[Visitingcat]

What a great story, afib must have thought “it’s a madhouse in here” and cleared off! 😀Hope it stays away for the wedding 👍

[Ducky2003]

And folk think I'm funny 🤣🤣🤣 but I won't have ducks taken in vane 😁.On a serious note, I asked for a pillow as I get a bit of vertigo. They prefer to have you completely flat but gave in with pillow about 5cm thick.

All the best for the wedding and for next week. Looking forward to hearing how it went and hopefully no Benny Hill style shenanigans in the lab.😁.x

[wilsond in reply to Ducky2003]

No ducks were injured in this production! I'll ask about that thanks xxx

[Ducky2003 in reply to wilsond]

🤣.🤞.x

[Bostonterrierlover]

Thank you SO much for sharing that. I haven't laughed that hard in ages! Glad you two and of course the cat are OK

[wilsond in reply to Bostonterrierlover]

Just had to share!

[C66t]

That sounds like a comedy sketch,Im glad you both are ok though, how's the poor cat?😉all the very best for abl. 🥰😅

[wilsond in reply to C66t]

Cat is fine but still in a Huff! Xx

[Shiney1959]
