I’m sorry there was no Friday’s Fave Five here today. I know some of you particularly enjoy that feature.
Last week I had an ablation for atrial flutter and atrial fibrillation. But the procedure triggered an episode of atria fibrillation (afib) that hung on despite three cardioversions.
The doctor had me go home and resume the medications I’d had to be off of for the procedure, thinking that might help get my heart back in rhythm. It didn’t. So today (Friday) I went in for another cardioversion.
Thankfully, God allowed it to work this time with just one shock. Even though the procedure itself doesn’t take long, with all the preparation and then staying for observation afterward, we were at the hospital most of the day.
Thankfully, I had the same two nurses I liked so much last time!
We also had good talk with the cardiologist. I had not seen him personally in a while except for just a minute before the ablation last week. Usually when I go to the office, I see his P.A.–which is fine–I like him well enough. But we were able to discuss what the options were if the cardioversion didn’t work. I’m glad there were options, but even more glad that we didn’t have to go those routes at this time.
Now Jim is out getting take-out, and I am supposed to rest for 48 hours. Which sounds good to me. 🙂
Thanks so much for praying about this with me!

It’s great to hear this update. Take care. Praying for you.
I am glad that the procedure today worked.
I think take out and rest for 48 hours is a good option. Glad you are OK. Willow
So thankful the procedure was effective. I hope to see you Sunday. Grace and peace, Margie

I’m so glad that all was able to be taken care of in one shock. Praying now that things remain well. Rest up!
Just now seeing this and very glad things went well! I’ll be praying for you to be able to ‘rest effectively’ and get better very soon.
I missed seeing your link this week, so came by to check on you! I’m glad all is well and hope you got lots of rest this weekend.

Oh goodness Barbara! I’m sorry to hear you hear you are having troubles. I’m glad the cardioversion worked! I will be keeping you in my prayers dear friend!
Barbara, I’m so glad the cardioversion worked, and with just one shock. I hope your 48 hours of rest was, well, restful! ❤️
Thank you for that update. Had been praying for your ablation but wasn’t quite sure when it would be. And then wasn’t online for a while… Thankful you had a good dialogue with your cardiologist.
