Atrial Fibrillation
When I was in hospital last December, they changed my anti coagulation meds - they dropped the tried and tested Warfarin which required a monthly check - to a twice a day Apixaban.
Never mind, at least I can have some of popeye s spinach!
I will be very interested to hear what they say - I’m not the sort who likes taking pills

Well guys. In spite of all our combined ailments we are still here and causing havoc with family and friends. As well as enjoying our cars and the forum. Keep it up all of you.

For those of you jammy buggers that are allowed to drive....
5 months to go, then I'll be out rain, sleet or sn...... actually not, I've tried a Zed in snow and it's not good getting in and out of a village with hills....

Sorry John. I had forgotten your predicament. Over half way to reaching the promised land now. I guess it must have felt like an eternity. Not being able to drive is one of my very worst fears too. On a positive note I am sure all that cycling has been good for you.

I’m in for cardioversion this coming Saturday (24th), had the preop checkups etc just waiting for the day now. No change in my condition really, the meds seem to be working.
I must admit to being a tad nervous but hopefully it should prove worthwhile

Best wishes for a successful procedure on Saturday - it’s a big deal for us but just another day at the office for the medics! They had pop music playing in the op theatre when I went in for my last ablation, Oh and it was the 13th of the month
Are there any driving restrictions after the procedure. I was told not to drive and I didn’t for a week.

Good luck. Hope all goes smoothly. Let ll of us geriatrics know how it goes.
Just thinking about it. We have a number of different sections on the Forum. Ought we not to have one just for geriatrics and their attendant age related issues.?

I fear it would get old rather quickly........

Thank you gentlemen.
I’m at my local Spire hospital, check in is 7.00am, procedure at 8.30am. At least I’m first on the list and should be home by lunchtime.
No driving for 24 hours I’m told, no probs!

Perhaps we will see some new Avatars?

There is from this old crock!
My bpm went up to 160 again and would not come down.
I spent yesterday in hospital and this morning at a clinic.
Another pill each morning the strength of which could be increased- if that doesn’t work the it’s been suggested that the next stage is is and ablation and pacemaker!
Oh joy!
