This site has always been about my experiences with Atrial Fibrillation as a Rider/Racer. I had Catheter Ablation done in August 2009 and,except for the occasional blip, remained pretty much in NSR until January of 2018. This is when I had my second ablation done.Then I had a third one done in July 2018. And a 4th touch-up ablation in July 2019.
So now it will be about my recovery and return to full-on cycling again. You will also be entertained buy my occasional rants on daily life.....Enjoy.
Had a wonderful day with the family over the past week. Christmas this year fell on my seven day break from work and I tried to make the best of it. Spent several days insulating my garage and started to hang the drywall. It's made a huge difference in how warm it is out there and will make it a more inviting environment for working on the Falcon or any other project that might come my way.
I guess I never posted about my CBG building frenzy. I would like to make some more one of these days.
We also spent part of Christmas Eve in the city. We originally planned to spend the entire day and go to midnight mass. There was a church we used to go to years ago there that has the Pittsburgh symphony orchestra playing but we not only could not remember the church but were ready to go home at 5pm since there really wasn't anything left to do.
There is much to be thankful for this year. A steady beating heart and my back issues continue to improve. It was at this time last year that things started going south for me.
Working on month number 5 now. It seems just like yesterday I was in Austin having my ablation done. I'm still sending weekly reports to Dr. Natales office and everything continues to look good.
I've been keeping up with my Mg and K supplements and that appears to be keeping the eptopic beats at bay. I hope that things continue on that path. I suspect that one of these days soon that they will be having me stop the Metoprolol. Truth be told I have missed a dose or two lately with no ill effects.
Not much else has been happening these days. I'm going to hit the woods this morning as it is deer season in my neck of the woods. I have one more night shift so I wont spend more than a couple hours on stand today. Maybe I'll catch a woods nap if I'm lucky.
