Hi Phil

Pulsed field is currently state of the art - all the best, mend up fast mate, it's good to see you back here again.
Hi Cam,

Yep...Look like a great improvement over the older ablation procedures. Was in OR for 2 hours. Worried Margie because they told her 1 hour... Doc took it slow and very thorough. When Margie saw the groin entry points she offered up her comforting remarks. Ewwwwwwww!

Anyway, things seem to be working except the meds to control the heart rate are too strong and my resting pulse rate needs to be upped a bit.... See the doc Thursday and hope he yanks some meds and adjusts others... So all in all things are looking great!

Best,
Phil

Oh fun! Been there. Kind of crazy as the eye appears to refill from the top down. Weird when it is halfway and you tilt your head. Did you have a detachment to need it? Hope all is well.

All the best, Phil. It is truly amazing the things they are doing these days. My cardiologist is watching my aortic valve for stenosis. With the TAVR procedure replacing it is now outpatient surgery.

All the best, Phil. I have prostate cancer that my oncology team is keeping tamped down to an undetectable PSA @0.01. I had a prostatectomy in 2018, and it came back, had radiation and it came back again, so now I take a rather strong testosterone blocker because that is what the cancer likes to feed on. I still have thinning hair, and I think I like pretty girls, just can't remember why.

Oh, yeah, this is the Pic Whore Club thread, so here are my son's two, making bird feeders out of pine cones today.

Must be world wide thing, we are having one of the wettest and hottest autumn's on record here. With only a month and a half of autumn left I'm still mowing weekly and it's still temps in the low thirties (deg C) almost every day. In the worlds driest inhabited continent, the Queensland outback is currently literally swimming in water with massive wide-spread flooding. I think this year might be one of the few times each century that lake Eyre actually fills with water.
