No risk to be out running aorund 2 days post ablation is there?? I have my family here to lift my toddler and change diapers So I am not bending that much

i felt tired for a few days afterwards and i was sore where the catheters had been in my groin and under collarbone then i got that haematoma so it took me a good week to recover,but being a typical woman as soon as i was home from hospital i was doing the housework etc lol.

I had my first ablation on a Friday and was at work on Monday and at school on Tuesday night.  I'll admit I should probably have waited a little longer since I was tired.  

The second time, I gave myself a week off before going back to work.  But, I did work in the yard and rake leaves : )   Do what you feel comfortable with, but remember once you grab the vacuum, it's yours again....LOL

Take care and enjoy your SVT-free days!  Isn't the view beautiful from this side of the mountain?

I had my ablation on Wednesday morning and was released from the hospital Friday afternoon, and I went shopping Friday night. I had no pain in my groin area and I was feeling fine. The doctor told me just to not lift anything heavy and try to avoid stairs for a couple of days,

I waited one week before running again. Glad to hear things are going well.

I was never on heart meds, thank goodness. I did not want to side effects.
