Do yourself a favor and go stay with a relative or at a hotel. Then when you are recovered enough you need to kick all their respective asses!

If you are talking about an ablasion proceedure it is many caths. i have been told that cardioversion is each time the doc yells "clear" and hits the button counts as one shock. EP said that this can be done as many times as needed.

I had my first a flutter six years post op. They did an ablasion about one and a half years ago. Then a-flutter returned a different Rhythm. Was put on Tycosin and then zapped (cardiverted) Then returned to sinus rhythm. Two weeks ago. Seem to be in rhythm. I was never symtomatic. Just sounded...

I agree with Ross. I am much older then 17 years old and I have a job that is not the safest in the world. As long as she has protective equipment she should be alright. Anti Coag therapy is not a monster as long as it is monitored carefully. I know that it is hard to say I have three children...

The one thing I learned from being in a coma then surgery is that it is hard to sit on the sidelines. I feel that part of the recovery process is going back to what ever it is you do as soon as possibile. I started by working and doing things "part time". after a total six months after two OHS...

I am sorry I was mistaken only 15 days intubated and 34 days with a trach.

Hey Ross try 49 days intubated now that is a real treat.

I have the same issue that Bina has but I Prefer the sound of rain or music set low.

2 and a half weeks post op, damn your good!

My guess is muscle strain. I further am guessing you did not have any shortness of breath? I am the same age you are. Enjoy!

I think that is great. I am seven years post op at the end of Jan. My dept. has never let the fact that I have replacement parts stop them from giving me any assignments. They know I am on anti coag therapy. Even with this knowledge I do not advertise this fact. The necessary people at are fire...

Gees I hope our personnel director does not read that forum. Oh wait I am seven yrs post op on a blood thinner had a couple of car accidents while on duty been in numerous altercations during the arrest process. Usually I bleed more from shaving then anything else. That is until my wife and...

As a veteran police officer who spent most of this time working with young people I think giving these kids a break was good for the Christmas spirit. However being the burned out tired of being lied to officer pressing charges would have been good too. Still it is the choice of the complainant...

I was told of my BAV when I was about 17. In my younger years I did not let this stop me. Went onto a career in law enforcement. Then got married. I have three children all three show no sign of BAV or any other cardiac issues. My Niece was diagnosed with a BAV at 2yrs old along with an aortic...

All you can do is what you can do. If they try to take legal action then so be it. Your alive and that is what counts. You may want to find a member of your local media to get friendly with. Trust me when I say that the hospital will not want any negative press.
