Had the procedure.
Reported at 6:30 AM to the hospital surgical center to have my SVT ablation performed. At 7:30 AM I was gowned up, had a bunch of wires on my chest and back (after shaving all my hair off), and had an IV in my left arm. Doc and 3 techs did the RF ablation to my heart after inserting two ports in my groin area. Procedure was done while I was 1/2 conscious.
The Doc said he is confident he shut down the area that was causing the uncontrollable heart beat rate. Actually, he said he found an extra circuit in my heart where the signal from my brain ends up.
By 9:30 I was back in recovery and had to lay flat for 4 hours while the veins healed up and the bleeding stopped. Not too bad, just boring.
Went home at 1:00 PM and finally had a good cup of coffee.
DW can wait on me hand and foot until tomorrow when I am supposed to be good as new.
