Ablation tomorrow for WPW, SVT

Thank you to all who replied to my question!!  I could not figure out how to reply directly to the people who responded to me so I am just posting a question again.  I am feeling a lot better tonight.  Still a little anxious but am every night after working all day, getting my daughters to their activities, dinner, homework...... and the list goes on!  Hoping I will be able to sleep tonight.  I feel like if I could just get my breathing and anxiousness under control, then i would be fine.  I could even deal with my big episodes!  Please say prays that this works tomorrow.  I am young and very active and want to get back to my life.  To the person who responded from Atlanta... I am also in Atlanta.  The weather was crazy tonight... but so appropriate!  Again, thank you for taking the time to respond... it is incredible to hear that other people are going through this too.  :)

Were any of you scared of actually feeling better?  I know that sounds odd but I am actually afraid of not knowing how to handle a regular heat beat, and not holding my breath when I walk down stairs, and actually feeling calm on the inside... not pretending anymore.

Thinking about you Jessi - Yes, the hail and lightning last night was insane. If nothing else it probably distracted you from thinking about your procedure today! Be sure to let us know how you are doing after the procedure and let me know where you had the procedure done. I had mine done at Emory.

You are going to be so happy to have your life back once you are healed and better. The only thing that made me stop and think twice was getting off my rate control meds (Flecainide). I tapered off over the course of 3 weeks but you are going to be feeling so great that you'll welcome coming off the meds.

All the best to you!!

Hello...

I didn't see your earlier post, so I'm glad that you started a new thread:) I will be saying prayers for a successful procedure and a speedy recovery!

If you aren't able to sleep tonight...rest assured, you will certainly get to sleep tomorrow, whether you like it or not:)

Be sure to come back here after your procedure...We will all want to hear your good news! All the best to you!!
