NEVER take me with you to Vegas!!!

Because my luck SUCKS! I built this thing up so much, and the odds were SO in my favor that I couldn't CONCEIVE of it (the procedure) not working.

As you can see, there are no pictures. I was going to be "Mr Documentary Guy", and make this whole great thing about how I was CURED of this palpatation problem.

I am the 3 out of 100 that Ablation CANNOT CURE. I am VERY greatful to the doctors becuase they TRIED. It took them 3 1/2 hours to figure out that the (extra) pathway in question is millimeters next to my hearts normal pathway. If they would fix it, the chance of screwing up my regular pathway would be about 80%.

And as my luck is horse shit anyway, I have elected to try other means of controlling the problem. There are drugs that can help. I am now on a beta blocker. I will let you know.

I won't lie. I bawled like a baby for about 20 minutes after the bad news. Maybe it was the medication, or maybe the fact that like a MORON I was SO SURE that with an 96-98 percent success rate that I would be one of the lucky many right?

I dunno.

At any rate, I am pretty depressed. Maybe I will feel better later if the medication works. Right now I feel like I am 100 years old, and maybe should be in diapers and suck on a bottle of fukitol.

Yet tomorrow is another day.

The Procedure was hard on me. They could not give me alot of meds because unlike EVERYONE ELSE (whom this worked for), I was also unique in the fact that they had a hard time causing my heart to palpitate under the "happy meds' and they had to give me a shitload of adrenaline to make the heart palpitate. It hurt a lot, and made my head hurt. I feel tired, like I ran a marathon. I am gonna eat a subway and go to bed.

Sorry this post is so morose, but its how I feel, and I owe all of you nothing less than the truth!

Maybe later I will share some pics. For now I want to forget I had all these hopes for this to work and they were dashed. Right now I am going to chill. The Adrenaline made me feel like I ran the Boston Marathon, so see ya later!

Awww, wolf... sorry buddy. We always think we're part of the majority of the population and most times we are... I'm really really sorry you are one of the 3%. Don't be too bummed, take it as it comes - one day at a time and be thankful and enjoy everything you have now.
I'm cheering you on.
... and yes, in comparison to my 'Bad Luck' at the Casino... you win, hands down.

You sound in pretty good spirits still, keep it up. ;-)

Minxy-Geting a little better-Feel crappy-Got sick for a day

Jammers-the guy who did the procedure wrote the book on this type of procedure. Hes the best in his field. I have rotten luck is all.

Ice-Thanks! the depression comes and goes in waves.

You're going to do just fine...

Hang in there, wolf.

We all hit our downs and lows for various reasons and somehow we pull through.

Try to think positive :)
