    Woo-Hoo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I'm back! Can't use right arm until artery heals. Hurts like hell.

    Guess What! Original diagnosis was bad. Still A-fib but NO scarring, no Fat in the heart, NO appreciable accumulation of cholesterol or blockage, no enlargement. Heart is in good condition. ♥

    Yippee - ai -yo- ky - yay!!!!!!

    Wonderful news!!!

    Death thought about it.

    That's great news. So you didn't have a stent put in afterall???

    Boy - your former doctors not only dropped the ball, but it seems that they weren't even on the correct playing field. Pretty darn scarey IMO.

    Thanks Pom (Edit: No, no stent was put in. Nothing serious or remarkable on blockages. heart is in good condition)

    I agree in part. The Atrial fibrillation is probably a correct diagnosis, but the original docs explanation of why is off. The supposed scar tissue was causing the heart to beat fast uncontrollably. The heart wasn't really racing but fluttering. And the new doc said a heart that periodically races isn't necessarily an issue. But fluttering and not beating is an issue and probably why I get so tired. The doc that did the recent procedure talked about A-Fib like it was a definite conclusion, so I still have to wear the heart monitor. "The more data the better."

    The new docs explanation is that the scar tissue and blockage should have been addressed first. And probably sooner because those results were ignored. A whole lot of faulty data.

    Going through the EP study was good. I'm wondering if he did the ablation. I go back the 27th to followup, learn more about what has been done, and determine future actions, hopefully to find a remedy for the heart palpitations.

    Thank heavens I have a great Internist.
