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.
