Cardiac Ablation In The AM......

[Retired Sarge]

Tomorrow at 0700 I report to the surgical floor for my second Cardiac Ablation.

Had one in Nov 2021, everything was fine until May 2024 when I went into A Flutter, it took awhile for it to resolve, and they were planning on Cardioverting me.

Then in Jul 2024 I went into A Fib and it resolved on its own.

The Cardiologist office, dropped the ball and forgot to reach out to me regarding which meds to stop and having bloodwork done. So I went from number one in que to number two so they can do my labs.

Hopefully this time around it's not the cluster duck the last one was. It was in Nov 2021, so during COVID, report time 0630, finally taken back at 1730 for the procedure, so 11 hours after I arrived. I'm hungry and beyond cranky.

I get to the OR, and I end up laying on the table for an hour, as they prep the room, prep me, and wait for the doctor, move stuff around, etc. Doc finally shows up, and I'm finally knocked out, less than 30 minutes later the procedure is done.

Told them at my Cardiologist Office....If it's a complete cluster duck, like the last time, I'll get off the table, leave the OR butt naked, find my wife and leave the hospital......!

See yall on the flip side.......!

Good luck tomorrow Sarge. I agree with ya about having to sit and wait for some sawbones to show up. I've got no patience for it. They tell me to show up at 1400, I'm there, but if I'm still sitting and waiting at 1500 I'm bailing out.

Guess I'm not a patient patient.

Too many big words for me, but hope it goes well for you

Good luck tomorrow and let us know how you're doing.

Best of luck with the procedure.

After just spending 9 days in the cardiac ward with cellulitis I really hope you don't have any issues.

I'm set up for a radio frequency ablation on spinal nerves (in the area of L2-L5).
Best of luck to both of us Sarge.

Best of luck. But better than that, at 0700 we'll say a prayer for a safe, successful procedure.

Praying that a good outcome tomorrow comes to you and the hands of those working on you are blessed. Best of wishes to you for tomorrow's procedure.

Congratulations on making it home successfully! Just take your time recuperating.

I just had a procedure on the 10th of Sept. on my heart. Have a history of heart problems, Started having chest and arm pains, my cardiologist scheduled me for an angiogram. Doctor did the angiogram, I ended up with four stents placed in my heart! Came home the next day and am taking it easy for a while. Doing great now and slowly working up to more activity.

Glad you made it home! Take care. Be safe.

Guess we need to have admins make a heart lounge so we can all hang out and talk about our Cardiac exploits........I mean issues!
