Yearly Check Ups

I met my electrophysiologist in 2016 after ankle surgery revealed electrical heart issues earlier that year.

I caught up with him yesterday, and after 7 years of heart dramas, a cardioversion, 4 ablations, 1 abandoned ablation when they found a blood clot in my heart and multiple hospitalisations, he is finally happy to now put me on his, "we'll catch up every year from now on" list.

My heart has been pretty good since my last ablation in 2019, although the three Pfizer Covid jabs I had greatly unsettled it. (The Novavax was much better for me).

I felt pretty elated after leaving his office and I'm looking forward to the next year. We have three trips booked - Bali and Tasmania this year and Europe next May. We are also set to become grandparents for the first time in January.

Dare I say it, but I'm almost feeling "normal" again. (My fingers are crossed so I don't jinx myself 🤣)

😀😜😍🥳🎉🎈

Hiya Kaz, really nice to hear from you again. I'm John who, in a previous incarnation you would have known on here as CarnEuny.

Also gotta say, it's great to know you are now so well and so upbeat. No worries, you're on a roll and your trip next year will be truly great.

Well done you. A great amazing, positive post.

John
