HI AGAIN MAZERS
SUNDAY OCT 5 WILL BE MY 3 YEAR ANNIVERSARY OF MINI MAZE AT OHIO STATE BY DR. COX. NO AFIB SINCE LEAVING HOSPITAL AND NO DRUGS NOT EVEN COUMADIN. STILL HAVE A FEW PATS WHEN TIRED OF STRESSED, BUT NOT OFTEN.

MY ONLY COMPLAINT IS THAT I STILL HAVE HARD TIME GETTING MY HEART RATE UP DURING EXERCISE. HAVE NO TROUBLE WITH WEIGHT TRAINING BUT AEROBIC EXERCISE IS A PAINFUL PROCESS TO GET RATE UP TO 120 BPM.MY RESTING RATE IS 48 BPM SINCE TWO MONTHS AFTER OPERATION.

MY CARDIOLOGIST SAYS WHEN IM 73 (NOW 63) YEARS OLD WILL PROBABLY NEED A PACEMAKER. HE BELIEVES MY SINUS NODE MIGHT HAVE BEEN DAMAGED DURING OPERATION OR BEFORE. MY RESTING RATE BEFORE OPERATION WAS 52 BPM. I TEND NOT TO BELIEVE HIS THEORY AS MOST CARDILOGISTS HAVE PROBLEM WITH MAZE PRODEDURE.

THANKS TO ALL BOARD PARTICIPANTS. IT HELPED ME DURING FIRST MONTHS OF BOARD EXISTANCE. THOSE FEW POSTS AND JACK DRUM HELPED ME MAKE DECISION AT A TIME WHEN THERE WERE FEW MAZE OPERATIONS. I READ BOARD EVERY DAY , BUT DONT CONTRIBUTE MUCH BECAUSE OHIO STATE DOES NOT SEEM TO DO MANY MAZES. IT APPEARS THAT CLEVLAND CLINIC IS WHERE THE REAL ACTION IS.

EVERY ONE KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK.

TOM GLASS
