Hi, Jack.I wanted you and the board to know that I had cardioversion near the end of November and have since been in NSR. I have taken my last dose of Coumadin and am ready to start the new year without medications. I am starting to feel pretty good though I still tire easily. I am staring to work out on a treadmill since the weather has been unpredictable. I am cautiously optomistic that the a-fib is gone. I am confident the cardioversion would not have worked without the Maze. One thing I did notice was that the area cardiologists really have no experience with Maze patients. I don't think they are convinced with it. They seem to have a passive interest in it. Anyway HAPPY NEW YEAR to the board and good health. Tim E.
