Surgery went well -- Now is afib
Just realized I had not posted that my surgery was successful. I am, however, now in afib and a blood clot is keeping me from being cardioverted. They did a TEE and discovered the blood clot. I have to wait 30 days, they will repeat TEE and see if the clot is gone. If it is, they can cardiovert me then. In the meantime, I am on a TON of drugs that are keeping my heart rate down in the 80's when resting, 90's or so when I'm moving around (which I'm not doing a lot of). Thanks all of you for your concerns, prayers, and good wishes. I am learning patience (not my long suit).
Glad to hear the good news about your surgery. Hope they can convert you soon and all is back to normal, keep us posted!
Thanks for the update. I am super glad to hear at least the operation went well. That is a relief. I hope you can get yourself cardioverted as soon as possible. Take care and feel better soon. (((HUGS)))
