Update on the update:

Just got back from visiting Texas Towelie and I'm happy to report he seems to be in good spirits and is getting good care. He is scheduled to have an ablation Wednesday.

Calimary, you'll be glad to know I brought him a plant with 3 different specimens in it, which I hope will not be easy to kill. I think it would take me a while to kill it and I think he's probably a better gardener than me.


He is unable to respond to messages and posts at present because he has been hospitalized for an elevated heart rate. He has been intubated twice, but is not intubated now. He will be seeing a cardiologist and may require an ablation to stabilize his heart rate. He says to tell you all he will catch up when he is back to his computer, as for now he has only his cell phone. Apparently he has been hospitalized for a number of days, but wasn't sure how many.

Please keep him in your thoughts and send him good healing vibes.

1. Sending good thoughts his way.

[usaf-vet]

52. Having JUST had an ablation less than 60 days ago. I would suggest that it was a quick easy procedure and TT....

... should be back and posting soon. Let me put it this way ablation was easier than having a tooth pulled.

[Demsrule86]

55. I had one too in March. I felt fine and had no post operative pain...tiny incision.

They went through the groin area.

[usaf-vet]

59. Exactly! I entered the hospital at 08:00; IV started, Doc visited, 10:30 rolled to the procedure room, done and headed..

... home at 13:00.

TT, seek the earliest appointment they can / will give you. I had research to do, and I did not have the advice of two fellow DUers. Or anyone else. Gee TT, if you trust our politics, why not trust our medical advice?

OF COURSE FOLLOW YOUR DOCTORS ADVICE!

[Demsrule86]

84. Our Medical advice is impeccable...just ask me...hehe

My Mom and Dad were Navy. I was born at Great Lakes in Illinois. My brother and sister (one of the first women Marines and was pregnant/horrified the older Marines.) My sister won the highest award you can win during Peacetime. My brother was a Marine...He went to Seal School.

to Texas Towelie. Take care.

[TwilightZone]

3. Sorry to hear about his issues.

Positive thoughts and best wishes his way for a speedy recovery.

[nolabear]

4. Oh no! Fortunately it's a well known, treatable thing.

Sounds like he’s having a rough bout but I’ll find the pony here and say they can treat this. Ablations are common and hopefully will be totally successful.

Hang in there Towelie! We’re waiting for your return.

5. Thinking of him.

My husband had similar and is now doing well after 2 ablations and the correct meds. Hoping for as good an outcome for Texas Towelie.

Speedy uneventual recovery.

[calimary]

15. Thank you for the update, Trueblue Texan.

Please give him our love and make sure there’s plenty of green things around him for him to see. A nice bushy houseplant like Devil’s Ivy is ideal and grows with great vigor, with very little care needed.

[AllaN01Bear]

works . been electroverted many times but there is a risk involved .

41. Yikes!

My heart ache for his struggles...being intubated twice...ohh jeepers!

Please send him our love...white light protection for him..this will be rssolved soon

[TheBlackAdder]

42. Best wishes for a speedy recovery TT.

If this is your first ablation, there's not much pain. Just the two vein insertion points at the groin.

Hopefully, all goes well. If so, you might find yourself home the same afternoon.

See about getting a loop recorder inserted so they can monitor your heart every month to see if you are OK.

My AFib was exacerbated due to sleep apnea, and the low oxygen also affected my optic nerves a bit. Perhaps check to see if you have apnea, because I had a cardioversion and a week later apnea kicked me out of a normal heart rate. The second cardioversion was unsuccessful, so I was scheduled for the ablation. Between the ablation and the ResMed AirSense11, I'm back to normal.

54. I had a valve replacement four Electrical Cardioversions and an ablation for AFIB . The Ablation seems to have done

the trick. I spent 46 days in hospital...all but one week in Intensive care. Good Luck Texas Towlie. You got this.

[70sEraVet]

64. Best wishes for a complete and rapid recovery!

[Warpy]

65. Tell him he'll seeep trhough most if not all of the ablation

so he shouldn't bee too nervious about it if he decides tp go that route after he talks to the doctor.

My own tachycardia responded well to a low dose of beta blockers, so I decided to stick with those, they're cheaper than dirt.

His sounds a lot more serious than mine is. I hope he's on the mend soon. He's missed here.

[tavernier]

66. I hate it when a member of the family

is having health problems.

Get better soon.

[Harker]

When you're ready, TT.

cardiac ablation, and both recovered quickly and did very well afterward.

80. Hang in there Texas Towelie. Had a couple of those ablations and I'm still kicking and

they actually made me feel better than I had in years. It sounds like this condition is worse than mine was, but a good electro-doc can do wonders.
