It's really hard to post anything during tax season! Sorry about that! I said that I would try to explain about the ablation in the last post and I haven't done that. Dr. Lan explained that electrical impulses travel from 1 side of the heart to the other. Bill has so much scar tissue that it has to travel around it and by the time it gets to the other side there's nothing left. That is why his heart starts to just quiver. In the ablation, a tunnel is made with a laser for the impulse to go through which gets it to the other side faster and makes a stronger heartbeat. So, that makes sense and made it a little clearer.

Bill saw Dr. Lan a couple of weeks ago and his Amiodorone was scaled back to the lower dose to see how he held up. His heart rate has been up a couple of times but not too high yet. If it gets to 100 we are to go to the ER if it is on a week-end. If it's a weekday he's to initiate a download and call the office.

His other heart cath has been scheduled for April 12. Not an ideal date but it can't be helped.
