My ablation was a success

It's been over a month since my ablation. I have been feeling great. My breathing and energy level has returned to normal, well at least normal for me.

I have yet to have my follow-up check-up, but I'm almost 100% sure I'm back in sinus rhythm.

You may recall that I told my doctors (and wife) that I was going to buy a new mountain bike if the ablation was a success. Well, guess what? I'm the proud owner of a new Trek bike. I've been biking everyday for nearly a week now and love it. I’ve even found a few muddy trails.

Hi Blake
So happy to hear you are feeling great now.We were getting worried as we hadnt heard from you for a while.
Wow your new bike sounds great.My hubby bought me a good mountain bike after I got my pacemaker .Walking and bike riding are the best way of keeping ourselves fit!
If ever you come downunder we must have a race.(Give me a few kilometres start though!!)
Good luck with your follow-up check !!
Regards-Kay

Hi Blake.

I am so happy for you. I hope you continue to improve.
That new bike seems like a sound investment. Enjoy it.
Have you been taken off the coumadin yet?
I tried to get back on my bike the other day, but it had been so long, that when I came back, my legs felt like rubber. Lol.
It looks like I need to use it more often. Practice makes perfect.
Take care, and keep us posted .

Thanks for taking time from your new mountain bike to give us an update. As others said, many of us were wondering how you were doing.

Take care,

I am just now 40 but have had these blackouts all my life. I am thrilled with the pacer and would do it all over again.
