Delighted to find an update with such brilliant news! And a fascinating description of the procedure. What a relief to have this behind you

Wonderful to read this post and hear about such a successful outcome. It would have been great to get this update directly over a coffee and croissont at Lovejoy with the melifuous sounds of Lake Street Dive in the background, but that will have to wait for sometime in the future. Kirsten and Levi send their best regards and we all wish you a great winter in Tucson.

I can believe it. It really feels like a night and day event, based on how I feel today at least. The afib episodes are one thing, but the most immediate thing is from being off of calcium and beta blockers. I’ve really felt pretty emotionally subdued for the better part of the last year, chugging away at 33 rpm.

Thanks, R. I was very impressed by the entire experience and the professional but caring attention I received from everyone I came in contact with, top to bottom. A humbling experience.

Oh, we know someone from the Netherlands! No, it would be too cold and wet in November. We’ll end in mid-November in Nice. The plan for Holland is to ferry over from the UK to Hook on August 23rd and then generally bike south along the coast. We’re looking at maybe a week in Holland, saving a longer look for when we’re too old to do hills. Could be soon, but not next year.

When will you be in the Netherlands? So the plan is starting Feb in Barcelona and 9 months? so will be November in the North? Racpat

As a past Cardiac and Surgical nurse, a great description of the process and procedure!

Such great news. We are so glad everything went so very well. Now you can relax and recover. It is simply fantastic, and if you are like a friend of mine, a real game changer in the best way. He hadn’t realized how much his A fib was affecting him until it wasn’t.

Sounds like you "had a good time" with the procedure and are doing even better than expected! Good to hear.

Looking forward to following along, once you get going, especially the AZ part... The Sonoran Desert is magnificent.

Well, this is about the best outcome you could have ever imagined! I'm so happy for you, Scott. Modern medical procedures are amazing.

I'm sure we will fit in a couple of coffee dates in the next three weeks. What I'm more worried about is fitting in a coffee date between Feb. 15th and 20th. It should actually be a dinner for the four of us since it will be about the only time we will see you next year.

I’m ready to visit them myself! It’s only been here for few hours but I’m sick of the rain already.

Thank you Tricia, and especially for your words of encouragement about this in the past. It’s really pretty remarkable how much better I feel this morning.

Thanks, Scott. It’s really great to have it behind. It’s been weighing on our minds for quite a while now.

You bet. The only thing that could improve things would be if we were in Sardinia. The rains just hit and I’m tired of them already.

Thanks for the update! I’m glad it went so well.
