All done. First on list,all AF and flutter zapped.

Parts were worse than expected in terms of pain,including getting catheters in and had to stop it three times but all done now.

Was done in BMI hospital,I am the ONLY patient on cardio there so being truly pampered.

Private room..here's lunch

Pleased all went well for you. Are you being treated as a day case as most are now ? Must say that with my 4th ablation last July getting the catheters in was the worst bit. It wasn't painful but I didn't like all the pushing and pulling sensations . I couldn't stop shaking, felt like a panic attack and had to practice slow deep breathing to get under control.

Can't remember a great deal else except that I felt very well looked after and had a lovely heated mattress to lie on! It was a very long session

.Take care and take it easy!

Glad it is all over.

Now remember all the sage advice you’ve read on this forum.

Lift nothing but the TV remote for at least 2 weeks. Really take it easy.

I am pretty sure that a reason I had to go back for more was because I was too eager to return to normal life.

Great to hear you're ok. I didn't realise they were still doing them across the road.

It was certainly a different experience in the private hospital...... toiletries, TV, sanitised for you paper strip over the loo and posher sandwiches 😁.

Who zapped you in the end?

Remember now, rest, rest and when you think you have rested enough, rest some more.😊.

I’m pleased for you that it is all done and dusted. Yes, rest, rest and then some more. I was on the private wing (as NHS) at LHCH for both of mine. Flat screen TV, phone, en suite, the whole shebang. Yes, really pampered. Glad you are home now and don’t forget……rest. xxx

Hurrah for you! Stage one done and dusted. Those wretched catheters...my first was hilarious with much shoving. Enjoy the stay and make sure you've got the other half primed for weeks 1 and 2 protocol according to Bob.
