I'm back!

The procedure went fairly well. A little pain when they were pushing and tugging but tolerable. I think i'm feeling a tad bit better although i'm tired and kinda weak they say just from sitting in bed so long. This morning when they interrogated the PM they said I was still in A-fib so he's bumped up my rhythmol but my heart rate is MUCH steadier and the nurses and everyone said it was definitely needed! my chest area is of course a little sore but really no restrictions other than the lifting and raising above shoulder/head. Thanks for all the support and sorry it took me so long to post. it was too hard to try to type one handed on my cell phone last night.

being tired

Hi Kmom,

I think you being so tired has lot to do with your surgery yesterday. That is quite a lot of stress on your body and if you are like me you probably didn't sleep too well the night before and probably not to good last night either. I think in a week or so you should be feeling a lot better. Give yourself plenty of time. It took me a few weeks before I really felt good. Get lots of rest and take it easy for a few days. Let your husband wait on you and take care of you and before you know it you will be feeling really good! I wish you the best!

Thankyou

What that should have really read was I'm back home LOL-- I really never left the club ha! but I am official now! I just wish I wasn't so tired--I'm hoping that it's just because of the procedure yesterday, drugs etc. because honestly now with a more steady heart rate I really shouldn't be this tired.

You are official!

Glad all went well kmom.

You just had surgery yesterday! Give yourself a break and take some time to heal. Let your body get used to your new HR.

Welcome back,

One more thing

I just realized! It feels great to be able to go up and down stairs without being out of breath! We have quite a few stairs in our house and it was becoming quite challenging --now I've just got to get myself back in shape but wow! I can go up and down stairs without huffing and puffing! Amazing!!!

little miracles

Isn't it incredible how much one little computer can do?! You'll be back in shape and climbing mountains before you know it.

You know you're wired when...

You know the difference between hardware and software.
