2nd Ablation

[Lesleyray]

Hi everyone

Just to say I had my 2nd ablation wed gone and all went well and was treated very well and my consultant was very pleased with the outcome ( if you have read my post on my 1st ablation it was a nightmare) so onwards and upwards as they say.

Happy Christmas and a bright New Year to you all xx

Always best to have a positive outlook and you seem to have that in bucket loads. Not easy being Christmas, but please take things easy over the holidays, if you are feeling well, the temptation to do more than you should is even greater!

Have a wonderful Christmas……..

[Lesleyray in reply to Hidden]

Thank you, I will certainly take it easy. You have a lovely Christmas too

How are you feeling now Lesley?

I'm glad to hear that all went well and your consultant was pleased with the outcome.

Yes upwards and onwards now.

Take is easy for a while and don't try to do too much too soon, or a great tiredness may sweep over you.

Best wishes for a speedy recovery.

Merry Christmas.

Jean

Hi Jean

Very tired and sore and a very few palpitations but nothing like before, a little apprehensive that they will flip into AF but I try and not dwell on it too much.

Luckily I have a very strict home nurse (he is bril lol)

You to have a lovely Christmas

Delighted for you Lesley! I’m having pacemaker fitted on Tuesday. My neighbour had his fitted 20 years ago for same problem of P A F and has never had even a tiny flutter since. Here’s hoping for me as

I’m exhausted with it😞

[Lesleyray in reply to Villador]

Hi, hope all went well, wishing you all the best

[Gumbie_Cat]

So glad that it went better for you - Happy Christmas, and make it a lazy one!

[Lesleyray in reply to Gumbie_Cat]

Thank you and I will, have a lovely Christmas as well

[Jalia]

Very pleased all went well for you.. I've just looked at your post detailing your first ablation. I don't know how I missed it, must have had alot going on at my end. My goodness you certainly went through it , sounds horrendous! Most unusual to hear this.

Take care now and allow yourself to be spoilt in the coming weeks .

Hi Jalia

It did take me a long time to convince myself with having a GA that it will be nothing like before and it was perfect, hubby will ensure I don’t over tax myself and I have lovely neighbours who will step in.

Have a lovely Christmas and take care too x

[Rainfern]

That’s brilliant news. Now enjoy a relaxing holiday and no worries about what’s left undone! It can all wait until you’re fully healed.

[Lesleyray in reply to Rainfern]

I will, looking forward to all the pampering lol

Have a lovely Christmas

Good news Lesleyray. Just caught up on your back story and you have certainly been through it. Had my 1st ablation 1st December and trying to rest as much as possible which doesn't come naturally to me, but I know it's important. All good wishes for a positive recovery. Now, feet up!

[Lesleyray in reply to Sputnik56]

Hi, the two procedures couldn’t be any different, so glad it’s over and you take care yourself.

Have a lovely Christmas

Have to say I’m glad I hadn’t read your 1st post - had mine Friday (first one) - way better than expected and doing well - great to hear your 2nd has been better and huge streams of positivity winging its way to you - Have a great relaxed Christmas and here’s to living da life again 👍👍👍☘️☘️☘️🙏🙏🙏

[Lesleyray in reply to MWIC]

Hi Thank you so much and same back to you, can now look forward to Christmas at our sons.

Have a lovely relaxing Christmas too 😀😀😀

[Ppiman]

All the best - enjoy Christmas and the New Year with nothing more than a few palpitations at most!!!

[Lesleyray in reply to Ppiman]

Thank you and you have a lovely Christmas too

[Singwell]

Hey well done! My first was also an abject failure - they told me right away. Apparently I wiggled even when no longer conscious 🙃. 2nd time around I had a GA and things have gone well since May 2022. I hope yours will 'stick' also.

[Lesleyray in reply to Singwell]

Thank you, was very scared but now I’m on the other side it’s brilliant knowing that it all went well, I lasted 3 months last time before the AF restarted but I’m much more positive now

[Singwell in reply to Lesleyray]

Being positive helps and at my final cardiology appt last Friday they told me it often needs two goes. I've actually been signed off - feels weird but also good. I don't know if your health trust is the same but ours has a system where for 2 years after discharge you can self refer without needing to go through your GP. Waiting to see what the letter says about this.

[Lesleyray in reply to Singwell]

Hi, once discharged you need to go through your own doctor, good luck with the letter

[Singwell in reply to Lesleyray]

That's not what the cardiologist told me. Perhaps he meant the GP uses a different channel. The arrhythmia nurse also told me I could let her know directly. If the letter doesn't come I'll chase it. My GP has it and it's supposedly copied in to me. I presume our surgery received the notification digitally, whereas mine will be by mail.

[Lesleyray in reply to Singwell]

Hi, my letter has come digitally to my doctor, it say ablation with RSVP ( not sure what the RSVP means) and follow up in 3 months, if all is ok then I’m officially discharged

Wishing you a speedy recovery!

Thank you, one week gone and still feel good
