So.... his recommendation is to increase the dosage on the meds and do another cardioversion next week. This one will be a smudge easier and they will not have to stick a probe down my throat to make sure there are no clots or blockages in my heart - did I leave that detail out last time? Yep that was fun! Actually it was not that bad as I was already out so - really have no recollection of it. Anyway - they can forego that step this time around as we know my heart is healthy.
So increasing the dosage on my meds and another cardioversion - if that does not work, we will move forward to the next procedure. But I am hopeful that this works!
He also gave me the go ahead to start working out regularly - no running yet but - I can at least get on the elliptical regularly - yay! OK little secret, I started working out this past week anyway. I just feel less stressed out & more "myself" when I get a few cardio sessions in during the week. Exercise really is the best therapy for me. Plus I went through all my workout gear and organized it and came to the conclusion.... I have a shit ton of workout clothes! Note to self.... do not buy another pair of running leggings ;) I guess I need to cancel my Fabletics subscription haha!
Me after my first workout in months.... trust, I am smiling on the inside here! I'm just staying in character with my Smiths t-shirt ;)
OK I am off to tidy up the house - I have 2 girlfriends coming in from ATL for Mardi Gras this weekend.... will be a different experience for me this year as I am not really drinking much these days outside of a random glass of red wine here or there. Looking forward to spending some time with my girlfriends! Laissez bon temps rouler & I will update next week post procedure!
