Thank you Superbob! TheGymGuy: Thank you. I'm happy to share with my VR community as I know others are too.

Thank you Duffy! If the valves are willin and the creek don't rise, I'm sure I will have many more to come! Ottagal Thanks for the compliment about my great attitude. I feel having a PMA helps in the scheme of things. N Jean: Thank you. I do plan to keep on ticking for many years. lol!

Hey Big Brother! :) Yep it's been that long. Thank you, I plan to have many more too. :) I just got in touch with Gina. Told her we need to get together. We were thinking of sometime in April. I'll keep you posted my friend. It's been way too long. I hope you are doing well.

Hi Everyone, Today is the 12 anniversary of getting my St. Judes Mitral and Aortic mechanical valves. My valves are doing great! I have had other issues like a mild heart attack in 2007 and a Pacemaker installed in 2012 because I developed A-fib and I have Tachy/Brady! My mechanical valves...

Oh Steve! My big Brother! Yep now I'm part of the Pacer set. I haven't seen my EP yet since I left the hospital last Friday. I see him on July 27th. It would be nice to talk to you before that ,so I can have a list of questions to ask him. All I know right now is that I am being...

Thanks for your information. Of course since having a pacemaker put in, is new to me, I have to ask questions. I'm sure in time I won't even pay a lot of attention that I have it. At least I hope not! It was different than when I had my valves put in. Those I didn't feel so much as heard...

Thanks Greg! I had been thinking a lot that Stress had a lot to do with all of this. I seem to get stressed very easy. Only person it is hurting is me! I guess we really can be our own worse enemy! :( I have heard the frozen pea or corn story before. I have done that. I am icing the...

Hi Everyone, I decided to update everyone on what has been happening to me. I should have got on here sooner but first it happened so quickly and second I was feeling too down to post. I went to ER on Fathers Day's June 17 at 6pm because I developed palpitations again. It was approx...

Thanks for posting Gina and referring to the new post I had posted. I wasn;t thinking that I really should have came back to this thread. All is weel though, because you were keeping tabs. :) LucyLou: As the weeks are going by, so far I am having fewere and fewer short runs of...

I tried to reply a few days ago but the site froze up when I scrolled back up to look at what Steve wrote. I got discouraged and decided to wait to reply another day. I went on today and the same thing happen. I decided to type in word and then copy and paste it to the forum. Steve, I...

Hi Everyone, I didn't realize it has been well over a month since I last posted. :redface2: I meant to get back on here sooner. I saw my EP April 15 for a followup for my Atrial Flutter Ablation. He was very pleased with the procedure. He did stop the Atrial Flutter. He said he...

Okay! Okay! You know I didn't mean it that way! Of course you didn't or you wouldn't be grinning and hiding! lol! I could say Hi! myself! But not in person. :) So HI! One of these days we'll get together again for lunch or brunch. I just can't do weekedays unless I'm off for a...

I hope you are doing better too, my friend. Wish I could join you next Wed, but I'll be working. Tell Steve HI!

Hey Cort, Thank you. Now you know I could never just behave! What fun would that be? I'm doing okay so far. Gotta say though, I do feel like someone zapped me! :) You, Steve, GIna and I need to get together again. It's been a while.

Hi Steve, Yuppers! My EP said I seem to have had a tendency toward bradycardia too. On a good note though, at least to me, I have taken my heart rate the last few days, and now my resting heart rate seems to be in the uppers 50's. So maybe this procedure is helping. Again only time will...

Steve, what? Me behave? lol! I do plan to try in normal sinus rhythm. Certainly don't want to have my heart hetting erratic on me again! :) Oh believe me, I am watching the heart rate. As far as lowering the beta blocker, we did lower the dose from 50mg to 25mg. We lowered it to 25mg...

Hi Everyone, I'm back. I finally got back home a couple of hours ago. The procedure went well. They were able to recreate the Atrial Flutter and do the ablation. Unfortunately when they went back in to recreate it again, I went into Afib, but immediately went into normal sinus rhythm. The...

Thank you Greg! I'll will post either later tonight or tomorrow.

Thanks LucyLou and Steve. I don't think he's in going tp put in a pacemaker tomorrow but you never know what might happen. I appreciate everyone's who has helped me make this decision. I'll will be in touch on Thursday when I get back home.
