What an interesting day yesterday. I had my initial consult with Dr. Natale down in Austin, TX nine days ago. I’ll be publishing a blog post about my appointment soon. I’ve been really busy so I haven’t had a chance to get to it yet but I will soon (hopefully in the next few days). I’ll give you a hint…Dr. Natale is going to do my ablation! I didn’t hear from his scheduling office until yesterday afternoon. I had a […]
READ MOREMy Most Pleasurable Atrial Fibrillation Episode To Date
Well it had to happen. I was hoping to go at least another week or more without an episode but no such luck. At least I got a slight reprieve and was able to go two weeks between my last episode instead of one. This one came on at 9:45 p.m. last night (Monday night). This is starting to get really scary because my last three episodes now have been on Monday or Tuesday night at almost exactly 9:45 p.m. […]

For me specifically, “Dr. John” has […]

Well it happened again. Just 7 days after my previous episode I had another one. What’s interesting about this one is that it happened on the same day of the week (Monday) and roughly the same time as the previous episode (9:45 p.m. vs. 9:30 p.m. for my previous episode). God I’m hoping I don’t have another episode next Monday, or anytime soon for that matter. I have no clue what triggered this one. I felt great all day long […]
READ MOREScreaming at the Computer Sparks Another Atrial Fibrillation Episode
It was 9:30 p.m. on Monday, October 13th. I was walking back and forth between my standing computer work station and my normal computer desk in my home office. I was trying to find a missing login to a website. I was getting really pissed off that I couldn’t locate what it so I completely freaked out and screamed at my desktop computer. Real mature I know, but I was really upset and everyone knows that if you just scream […]
