Good ablation story

[Peony4575]

Never hear good ablation stories on here, so thought I would mention my 83 year old ma in law ( the most indomitable person I know)started getting AF for a few hours every couple of weeks. HR 160 she got chest pain and dizzy , out of breath . Had an ablation , 3 weeks later on holiday in the Balearics

As we often say. successful ablatees seldom waste their time here as they are too busy off enjoying life.

Good am glad

I see posts about successful ablations on here every week, not least from me! 😊

I hope, however, that anyone scheduled for ablation and reading that post doesn't get the idea they'll be back to normal activities after three weeks, or that it's advisable to book a hot-weather holiday so soon after their procedure.

They don’t pop up on my feeds . I see people who are experiencing problems in recovery usually. Which is off putting if like me you haven’t experienced one . Do you have a problem with people sharing good news? I would have thought we can’t get enough of that

I agree, I’m 8 weeks post ablation, and even at 68 no way could I be fit enough to go on holiday. Rest is very important

I think you'll find quite a lot of successful ablation stories.I'm glad to see another one. 😊

[Peony4575 in reply to Fullofheart]

The ablations are often successful. But a lot of posters seem to have a tough time in recovery with all sorts of arrythmia problems. She had the ablation and her palpitations disappeared and she felt fine. I thought that was encouraging to those of us yet to have ablations. I won’t bother sharing another time

No please do share. It’s nice to hear good news xx

[Christobel23 in reply to Peony4575]

I'm glad you shared good on her! Hoping for second ablation and I can do same!!

[Easternmost in reply to Peony4575]

Lovely to have a positive post x

Thanks for your post Peony4575 ! I think it is very encouraging to hear her success, as I am contemplating ablation and get hesitant when I hear so many people having challenges. It’s good to hear the successes too.

[Fullofheart in reply to Peony4575]

Is this response meant to be directed at me? I don't think my response was critical in any way. I was affirming that it was nice to hear a positive story.

As I said, I regularly post about my successful Ablation. Does that sound like someone with a problem sharing good news? What also gets shared on here is advice, and my point is that the majority of people would potentially do themselves a great deal of harm by ignoring the advice of the excellent guidance sheets produced by Bob and others on this forum and embarking on a holiday so soon in the blanking period. Indeed there was a debate about this exact thing recently which ultimately led to the person who asked the question cancelling their holiday.

I'm delighted your mother has a new lease of life, what a trooper! I'm sure she's at least relaxing and allowing her heart to recover while at the resort.

A good story indeed!
