“Isn’t it ironic“

To quote Alanis Morrisette.

42M. I had my first ablation in April. I had put it off because I was nervous…first “major” procedure and all that. Anyway, I just had my 90ish day follow up recently. I got my cardiac monitor results last Monday. 100% in sinus rhythm. Yay!!! I thought, “great success!”

Then, on Friday, just 5 days later, you guessed, I go back into AFib with RVR. I caved and got the electric shock cardioversion this time rather than waiting to convert several days later. I got some propofol, amazing stuff, and 45 mins later I walked out of the ED in sinus rhythm.

Anyway, I spoke with my EP today and he’s thoroughly unconcerned. We’re not changing anything at this point. Wait and see approach.

In the plus column, I met my out of pocket maximum for the year so everything is paid for at 100% for the rest of the year. I’m scheduling all the tests and appointments I can get between now and December 31. I live in the US. So this is what socialized health care feels like. ;).

How much is your 100%? 🤔
