Z-Z-Z-A-P...BINGO! (back in NSR!!)

[Guest guest]

I had a successful cardioversion yesterday. Too bad, in a way, that I

was asleep when they pressed the magic button; there must have been

so much interesting to see on the monitor. The propathol (I.V.

anesthetic) turned off my lights in a flash, and when I awoke, I was

back in normal sinus rhythm.

On the other hand, my chest felt like it was being flailed with a

thousand needles, not like a " mild sunburn " that is given in popular

descriptions of cardioversions. I tried hydrocortisone cream, and it

helped a little, but Benadryl gel seemed to help more. It is still

feeling prickly this morning, but much more bearable. In any event, a

small price to pay to be back in NSR.

Every time that I get a sinking feeling in my throat, I check my

pulse to reassure myself that I am still in NSR. So far, so good. I

sure hope this lasts.
