Or just come out here with it and enjoy some R&R. Good luck and have a speedy recovery. Your thoughts & suggestions are needed on the boards.

That surgery is very succesfull. You will be fine. I have the same problem, on a much smaller scale, only need meds 4-5 times per year, no surgery. Very common.

Take a baby aspirin daily to reduce the chance of clot formation and possible stroke.

Yeah, I hope the surgery will add some of my strength back. It's an effort just typing on the forum. Pain I have learned to tolerate, this is a whole new ball game.

my grandfather had to have a pacemaker defibulator installed as well. Went well for him and actually saved his life on multiple occasions (literally). Hope everything goes well for you.

I was in the garage today working and you popped into my mind Roger - I wondered how you were doing and then I check in tonight and see your update - must have been a ripple in the force OB1 !

Very glad to see they are figuring everything out for you - sometimes that's the hardest part of the deal. My father had a pace maker installed 2 years back - and he's great today. It was about 6 months before he started really getting around again (he's 89) - but he's glad he did it.

All our very best, get some rest - and do what you're told !

Roger...I'm floored. Wolf Parkinson White Syndrome...I had the same thing about 5 years ago and had the same procedure done. Like you it took 5 hours and I kept waking up in the operating room (cold as a meat locker in that damn room as I remember). They were successful with mine. Where did you have it done? Mine was done by a renowned doctor at Henry Ford Hospital in Detroit. He's the same guy that did Joey Harrington's ablation when he had his problem. I forget his name...foreign guy. Yes...it's a birth defect and is corrected by actually buring the errant electrical pathway off the heart's wall with radio frequencies. My heart didn't race though, what happened is through my life my heart would flutter from time to time. I never thought anything of it until one day at work I was in the studio for a meeting and I felt my heart flutter as it would normally do maybe 3 or 4 times a year and this time it didn't stop. I then got a massive head rush and then dizzy and my heart went into what is known as Atrial Fibrillation. It didn't hurt or anything but my heartbeat became erratic (felt like a squirrel was running around in my chest). Scary stuff. Roger...I'll drop you a line this weekend.
