Rob: It's great to hear that you are doing well. I am confident that we will soon be seeing happy updates from you like those recent ones from Barb Deck, Jimmy Cull,Chris Muscato, & Joe Sexton, (congrats to all of them as well).
Hopefully, you can soon alert more Aussies to the benefits of being drug and afib free.
Fear not the periodic "skipped beats", & PACs, as they will diminish over time. I cannot remember the last time I had one, but I'm sure it has been 6 months or more, which would have been about 2 years post maze for me. It was when I was tired and dehydrated, and it was barely noticeable. I, and probably most of the population experience those kind of "blips" once in a while. I know I experienced them for at least 40 years, it's just that now I am much more aware of my heart, since it continues to amaze me at what it can now let me do post-maze.
