Guest guest Posted August 6, 2001 Report Share Posted August 6, 2001 Great post Leo - what a wonderful inspiration to us all! Thank you so much for sharing. A *star* from me to you! Ellen ********************* (snip) You may think of yourself as " basically fearful " , but all the things I have read, that you have written on these two forums, makes you come across as a strong, determined, intelligent and well informed woman. I think you are doing yourself a good service by at least examining the possibility of having the ablation procedure done. It is scary, but if it works, it's a new life. I was very scared leading up to the days of my pulmonary vein ablation in early July of this year. The thought of wires being propelled to tiny little veins in my heart, left me in a state of anxiety many times. Fears of stenosis, stroke, and a myriad of other things, were with me all the time. The week before the procedure I took a sleeping pill every night. Then on the day of the event I felt very calm. Went to the hospital at 7 a.m., did all the things required of me and by the time I went into the lab, I was almost looking forward to the adventure. The procedure went without incident, as far as I know, and afterwards I could barely believe that anything had been done to me. I have been af free for a couple of weeks now. I am still inundated with frequent PACs. If that doesn't improve in the next few weeks, I will have the PVA done again in sept. This time I am not as frightened and I am fully confident that I will be cured. (snip) Leo ******************* > > " Maybe you will inspire a basically fearful soul like me to follow your > example!
