Barb, This is a little much for me to understand but it sounds dangerous. Please be very careful and listen to what your body is telling you and don't try to over-do! No job is worth giving your life for! I am sure you are anxious to get back to normal but I would be afraid to go back to work so soon. You take care and may God bless and keep you in His loving arms! My prayers are with you and I do hope you are completely well very soon! Linda

No Lillian, I don't have a pacemaker. For a catheter ablation, a catheter is threaded through a sheath that is placed in each of the femoral veins. The catheters are threaded up to the right atrium. In order to get to the left atrium, a small hole is poked in the septum dividing the right and the left atria. Then, in the area where the pulmonary veins enter into the left atrium, the heart fibers are stimulated to see if they fibrillate. Those that do are oblitereated with radiofrequency energy. The procedures are usually performed by cardiologists who have specialized in electrophysiology. My procedure took 4 1/2 hours. Doesn't that sound like fun???!!!

Barb take it easy. Reading Cute is Ok, but going back to work? I don't know what it is you do, but I hope it involves sitting down. I hope you feel better soon.
