4 weeks post 100% pacemaker dependent,with A V node ablation I have gone back to work was a little slow at first, I work in a trauma center cath and ep lab, we see and treat anywhere between 80 to 100 patients a day, to get to my area to work, I have to park and walk about a mile to get on campus, 1st time in a year I didn't have to sit down at 3 different area's. I work with some great heart Dr's,( inside joke I am their poster child). Dr set my heart rate at 60 on Wednesday, stated that I should be good for 5 years with that level. no heart medication now only my thyroid medication and my blood thinner. I feel that each week I am getting stronger. thank you all for this support group, this is a great site. I have custody of my 12 year old grand daughter and yes I am gonna take care of myself, I feel that God and Dr Henry,have given me 2nd chance at life. Can anyone suggest a good healthy heart diet that has worked for them and at what level of exercise would be a good start?
Thank you all so much
Pat
