Ticking Over

[digitalraven]

I had good news in a phone call on Wednesday.

As a reminder, I got a bit of my heart burned out last May, as that’s preferable to being repeatedly turned off and on again. It’s now been nearly a year since the surgery, and over 18 months since I last had to get restarted. In that time I’ve had no further AF instances.

According to the cardiologist, based on everyone who has had this procedure I now have a 93% chance that I won’t have another instance for 10 years. Odds are, I’m cured. In a couple of months I’ll need to wear an ECG for 24 hours just to be certain, but yeah. With any luck that’s me done with it.

My birthday’s not until Sunday, but I’m taking it as an early present.
