Last post had me recovering from a cardioaversion. It lasted a month. Back into aFib and back into the hospital — chemically converted. I did it a third time but converted by myself on the way to the hospital. Spent a couple of hours there and was sent home — with an appointment for an ablation.
I had the ablation on 8/21. I will spare you the gory details because there weren’t any. It was a simple procedure that went well and they are confident they got all the “spots”. I have felt really good, much more energy, sleeping well, and, aside from a few flutters and thunks, my heart is behaving much better than it has in the last 25 years.
So, in case you have been wondering where I got off to, that is what is going on. I am still on top of the dirt and feeling much better thank you.
The first week after I just sat and rested and binge watched “Everwood” and “Heartland”. I finished both series and would recommend both as well. Clean, family entertainment — well Everwood has it moments but still pretty universal — and have now moved on to Chesapeake Shores for the second time.
After two weeks I was back in the doctors office for a follow up and was declared doing well. Went back to church because the Bean was giving a program on her Girl Scout Bronze Award that she has been working on. We go to an older church — 100th anniversary this year — and it comes with a complete and complex disarrayed set of archives from several rectors during that 100 years. So, her goal, as laid out by our current rector, is to organize and catalog all the hit and miss records, talk to the Adult Bible Class about her efforts and show some of the more interesting documents and photos that she found. I would include a photo but I can’t seem to get it to work — ah, there we go!
Anyway, life has gottten pretty much back to normal. I am back to climbing stairs and doing housework — who knew I would be grateful for housework but I am — and life goes on. Hopefully I will stay in as good of shape as I am right now.
I really didn’t abandon my blog — I’ve just been kinda busy! Question tho, why can’t I post a pic? Have they changed things? Never mind, I figured it out.

I haven't heard of ablation so I looked it up. Sounds serious. I'm glad it worked for you and that you are feeling better💗
Hi. Granny M! I’ve missed you! Apparently there is a genetic factor in my case as both my parents had aFib as did my dad’s sister and her two children (my first cousins). But, so far so good—I am feeling much better thank you and am so glad I had the opportunity to have the procedure.
