Hi everyone--I'm posting from my hospital bed while eating tough bacon. I guess you read the post a day or two ago from my Mom. I've got a cardizom (sp?) drip that is controlling my rate, even though I keep bouncing in and out of AF. I'm not worried about that, though. I guess I'm just one of the ones to get post surgical AF and it'll be gone when the maze kicks in for good.

But they've found fluid in my chest cavity and are going to try to remove it today. If it recurrs, I'll have to have chest tubes put in for a day or two. Did anyone else have this happen to them?
