Back to the cardiologist today…after they finally found out about my ER visit Sunday night.
My pulse was still high, despite the changes in meds.
He ordered blood work, and tomorrow, I’m goin’ in for a cardioversion.
They will put me under, and shock my heart in hopes of getting normal rhythm back.
Oh joy.

It sounds like they are steering you towards a pacemaker.
I had always thought that Mel Gibson should have played Pappy Maverick to Luke Wilson and Owen Wilson playing the sons Bart and Bret. That would have allowed the franchise to continue.
I asked about the pacemaker, and the doc said that this problem was not a pacemaker issue..
I did not recall the newer Maverick series. It would be hard to beat James Garner..
It was a movie back in 1994.
I liked the original and the Bret Maverick series with James Garner.
I think I saw the movie..with Jodie Foster? Once was enough for me.
Same with Wild Wild West…nothing like the original series.
Well, that’s an interesting way to celebrate a birthday!
Praying all will go well with the procedure!
yeah, Happy Birthday! Zzzzzzt!!
Well crap. I hope it goes well for you. Good wishes.
Looks like I’m gonna get another trip around the sun. Thanks, Fred.
Don’t worry too much about the cardioversion, I had one on April 29. I was walking normally 15 minutes later and I feel great. My pulse now at rest is around 58, stairs are no problem and a mile walk is problem free. Good luck!
They said it restored my natural rhythm, and that was the goal.
