One lasting feature of being sick last year is Atrial Fibrillation.

This morning I am undergoing electrical cardioversion, basically a low power zap intended to get my heart's muscle fibers to work and play well with each other.

I actually have done this to a patient while being trained as a paramedic.

It's a safe procedure, but I'm not above asking for thoughts and prayers (God knows, I can use them).

You got it. I have performed this hundreds of times. You will wake up and not even realize you had it. Will send a quick prayer though. Gods speed.

I'll doing my best,,,,
I wore a life vest for 2 months and luckily the damn thing never went off.... this was because my main artery was blocked 100% for over two hours.
The cardiac medical folks are really something these days... they did nothing less than save my life.

I had this procedure done last October, also for AFib. Nothing to worry about except maybe the anesthesiologist's bill.

Had ablation for a-fib in April. One overnight hospital stay and Tylenol for a day of discomfort. No problem.

Prayers for your success.
