I just wanted to apologise to Bob because I never mind apologising when I’m wrong!
You were right Bob! They only use the veins in ablation. I just thought that because I had so much pain with the stitches and only last week relief from a tenderness and tight feeling on the entry wound site, that they had used an artery- as that what the nurse said at the time.
Had my follow up phone appointment on Friday and my consultant confirmed they had used the pulmonary vein and my pain was because this was my second ablation in a year.
All great now by the way!
As I told him, for the first time in four years I’m blissfully unaware of my heart beat and it feels so wonderful!
I know because I also have HCM that my journey isn’t over, but am so enjoying life right now!
