Well this is it. Today officially marks the end of my three-month blanking period after my catheter ablation! I can’t believe it’s been three months already. I also can’t believe it’s been over four months since I last experienced afib. My last episode of atrial fibrillation was back on February 3rd. Time sure does go by fast!
