That's a bummer Dread! Hope they have you fixed up soon.
Next door neighbor had ablation done twice, the 2nd one took.
My 94 year-old dad's heart has been in persistent AFIB for several years now -
not the best situation but he's as alive and ornery as ever...

Well, this is unfortunate. I hope after conversion they put you on Multaq which is a really good rhythm drug. Works for me so far. Expensive AF. But it seems to work. A-fib is awful. It really is. Get better, D. (y)

Maybe it was the oyster stew?? LOL!!

And if that doesn't work, then they'll just give you a pacemaker to regulate. My sis in law is pacemaked (that's a word?) and she does pretty well. She's kind of a bitch but that's nothing to do with her heart, I don't think. It'll work out... they'll fix it.

Cardiologists have all the cool toys. If you can get to them in time, they have a exceptionally good chance of making things better.

Doctors are doing human trials involving cocaine infused pig hearts as we speak. Oink....Oink.... It's like the 80's all over again.

Good luck

Daughter is taking care of the dogs.

No D25 but I may have them bring up my mandolin. Looks like I'm going to be here for several days.
