I think you should have been taking it easy for the past month, not out cross-country skiing. Where did you go for your ablation? Are you still on any heart meds or a blood-thinner? You need to see your dr., or a dr right away. I know how far you are from a major medical facility. We've traveled through Haines Junction many times. Don't tarry.
Thank you so much for the perspective and encouragement! This is new territory for me.
Happy Holidays!

Hi Its very normal. I am recovering from my 3rd ablation done on 12/14. The bruising is starting to disipate however the entry sites as always are still tender and swollen. They take for me well in excess of a month to be fully healed. Just take it easy you can ice it but try to refrain from bending stooping or picking things up in excess of 10 lbs as this will only further aggravate it. Relax heal and give all including you heart time to mend
best of luck

Just as each of us react differently to medicine, the same is true with surgery. What takes 2 weeks for one person, may take a bit longer for another to heal. I would def watch the area and if it keeps on and you don't have an appt, call and see your dr., if you do have an appt soon, it's worth mentioning to let them check it out.
It's been almost 4 mths since I had a pacemaker/icd implanted along with and EPs; ablation and cardiac cath and I'm still sore if I hit the right inside thigh area but my left thigh doesn't hurt even though it has the larger scar.
Hope you feel better soon.
