[Kennyb1968 in reply to jeanjeannie50]

Home and in NSR!!!!!!

[jeanjeannie50 in reply to Kennyb1968]

Hooray, long may you stay in perfect rhythm!

[Jalia]

Well done! That was quick!

[BobD Volunteer]

Good to read. Now rest.

[mrgwair567]

So glad to hear that all went well! Take care and take it easy!

[dedeottie]

Great news. Now listen to uncle Bob and other wise owls and take it easy. Had mine about 8 days ago and did nothing for 7 days except potter round house and make easy meals. This morning I have changed a bed and planted a few small pereniels and now I am bushed 😝 More rest I think. No dodgy rhythms yet though 🤞

[MummyLuv]

Smashing Kenny! Rest up and looking forward to hearing your progress. Best wishes from along the M8 💪👍

[Threecats]

That all sounds positive Kenny. Glad it’s behind you and hopefully you’re back home by now. Wishing you a speedy recovery!

[CyclistMark]

Glad to hear it mate!

Just a sore groin for a week or two. Take it easy. I didn’t even push anything significant for a good week, not even a lawnmower and tried not to bend over

[Kennyb1968 in reply to CyclistMark]

I've got a sore chest too - especially when I try to take a deep breath. Perfectly normal I'm told. It feels like when I went ski touring on the glacier in the Southern Bavarian alps years ago!

[CyclistMark]

Forgot about that. Very dry throat too, because of tubing down my throat. Had to have water when eating some biscuits. Lifted my spirits when I saw my faves bourbon creams sitting on the table next to me. Yep I had that too, went after a day or so, gradually went from an elephants weight down to an ant. Lol was thinking the same I experienced near the summit of a high alpine mountain that I cycled up!

[Kennyb1968 in reply to CyclistMark]

Done that too my friend in France

[CyclistMark]

Guess you won’t be swinging from the chandeliers for a while 😂 Hopefully the Mrs understands 🙂

The ‘pants’ I had to change into when I arrived….no expense spared lol. Looked like netting off a joint of gammon 😂😂

[Kennyb1968 in reply to CyclistMark]

😂😂😂😂😂

[Nick1957]

Well done. Easy peasy??

[Frances123]

Glad it’s done and you are home. Take it easy and rest loads. Pleased for you. x

It soon passes , I'm 17 days post ablation and my bruise is almost gone and my throat is back to normal .I'm just starting gentle walks and managing little jobs around the house to keep off the sofa.

I had an episode of AF on Thursday that lasted 90 minutes which was mild but I know this can happen and was reassured by the arrythmia team on the day.

As everyone has said, take it slow and don't stress if you have some wobbles during the next few months.

Best of luck 👍

[Kennyb1968 in reply to Hammerboy]

I have woken up today in super mild AFib but not concerned as I think there are a few to come before calmer waters are sailed

[Hammerboy in reply to Kennyb1968]

Definitely 🙂

[MydogBrandy]

Well done take it easy

[4chickens]

Great news, rest and mend

[bassets]

Well done and good luck for your recuperation

[Jetcat]

Well done mate, hope you’re feeling better soon.👍

[Fullofheart]

Well done!!

[ETHEL103]

Excellent news.

[BlueINR]

You said surgeon did your ablation so it was done with a surgical incision? Mine was done by a cardiologist (EP) with a catheter in the groin up to the heart. I've not heard of a surgical ablation. Can you explain a bit more? Take it easy and best wishes for a good recovery.

[Kennyb1968 in reply to BlueINR]

No - it's was done in exactly the same way as yours - I didn't know there was a distinction and my groin certainly doesn't feel the difference this morning
