Well, it’s been two weeks today, so just a little feed back to those lovely people who wished me well and who asked me to say how it went etc.
All went well. Two leads in the end, no pain at all during the procedure (everything seems to be called a procedure these days, have you noticed that?😂)
I was in less of a dream like state than when I was previously sedated and was talking a little.
It took just after two and a half hours and they kept me in overnight.
I had a reaction to the sedation and needed to go to the bathroom because of feeling sick six times during the night, which wasn’t great!
I have been doing the exercises every day as I really don’t want to get a frozen shoulder.
Below my collar bone is not very pretty. Lots of bruising and the incision site still hurts quite a bit although less each day.
Trying to get used to the way it feels and looks. Being twice the size of a pacemaker it was always going to be lumpy and feel strange but then I expected that.
Made a big mistake and used my left arm to hang up my dressing gown and raised my left arm above my head on day 8 but I was ok.
I have an app on my phone rather than a plug in monitor!
Friends and family have been really great but I have felt a bit stir crazy at times!
No date yet for my AV node ablation.
I’m very glad and grateful that that part is over with!
