Bob: It is nice to see you post again, and to know that even though you still have a pacemaker, you are AFib free and enjoying life a whole lot more now than pre-maze. That ability to have a beer or wine without wild Afib is really great, isn't it?
I concur with Ed: without the support of EARLY posters on this board, and your personal support, I might not have screwed up the courage to have the maze. Now, post-maze, AND cured, I wonder why I was so frightened.
It was the unknown, the scarey prospect of the general procedure, etc., which made us (and still makes some) nervous. Knowing others had gone before was comforting and knowing that the likelihood of my premature death from the drugs, stroke, hemmorage, were pretty high, led me to the maze. A toast of my wine to Bob Reiley! THANKS!
