cardiac ablation

I am very concerned about this test. So much so I am considering canceling it. To many unanswered questions. Guess no one found the second poem yet. Thanks Jackie Caylor

Jackie,

maybe people do see/read your poems, but just don't know how to comment on it or don't want to comment on it. This is a support forum for cardiac device patients, and personally I must say that I come here to answer peoples' questions, but not to read poetry. Don't get me wrong, it's wonderful that you are writing poems, and that this seems to help you. But I read it, and then move on to see which questions I can answer.

If you have so many unanswered questions, then post these questions, and not a poem, because from the poem I can't tell what your questions are ;-)

I just wrote a reply to someone who will undergo an ablation, too. I suggest that you read this. It's really not such a big deal, the catheter ablation. Most people I know who were really scared before the procedure, said afterwards that it wasn't nearly as bad as they had expected. I was scared before my first ablation, too, but the people in the cath lab were very nice and helped me to relax. And you can always ask for some drugs to relax you, make you drousy or even sleep through the procedure. And then it's not bad at all. The worst part for me was always the laying flat on my back for six hours afterwards.

What kind of arrhythmia do you have that they want to ablate?

Test? What test?

I too read the poem and did not realize it was a request for help.

Many people here are willing to help--as the AlAnons say, "To share our experience, strength and hope,"-- but we are not mind readers. I certainly didn't guess the poem was about a cardiac ablation. Was it?

If you have questions, it might be best to clearly state them and give us a little background about diagnosis etc.

I am just grateful to God that I lived long enough to have my ICD put in. So many people are not as lucky as us; even though we sometimes don't feel lucky.
