Dearest Jeanne,
Sweetheart, I was only reacting to the procedure, and should have been more thoughtful of your feelings. Sorry!I am very happy with my PVI results, (though I'm sorry I got 40% stenosis) and the prognosis for living without Afib....maybe forever. I want YOU TOO to experience that! My prayer is that your doctors are wise, and knowleagable, and take very, very good care of you.
My observation about "primative" goes for most all surgical procedures I've observed. I watched the open Maze at CC, and I've watched a hip and knee replacement at the hospital I work at. Gosh....my thought is always, "If they'd teach me, even "I" could DO THAT!" Primitive enough for even me.
The EP just works in a realm of mathmatics, computers, electrical impulses, and these WIRES,...and it just looks so much more difficult to me!
Keep the faith, untill you get the cure.
Sarah
