Hello Maze/AF Friends!!

I know it's been awhile, and I CAN'T BELIEVE I MISSED MY ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY!!!! May 12, 2004!!

I've spent two years, reading you folks posts about your anniversaries, and wondering what it would be like, if I ever made it!!! Then I get a brain fart.

I've been in Florida, with my husband since April 26th, getting prostate cancer treatment for him, and the Dattoli Cancer Center. Also, unfortunately, having daily hyperbaric treatments for my chronic Osteomyelitis infection in my jaw bone.

S0000, I've had so much on my mind, that I missed my one year anniversary of being afib free. I'm free of heart drugs, PVC's (or other weird beats)and this heart has been through many trials, tests, and tribulations with my health, and it's kept going like a finely tuned clock.

This hasn't been "always", but really just since about February, when I began getting the old stress and depression under control.

I do moderate walking, enjoy a bit of wine daily, climb stairs, play in two bands with my clarinet and percussion...all without AF kicking in anymore.

I smiled when climbing a pyramid in hot, humid Mexico thid spring, remembering last year, getting AF so badly while walking a small hilly path in humid jungles of Costa Rica. NOT ANYMORE...thank God,Dr. Robert Schweikert, and the Cleveland Clinic.

If it weren't for getting an email from Justin K. I may not have logged on, and been reminded.

I have stayed in regular contact with Dr. Schweikert via email. It's amazing how he takes the time to correspond!! On May 23rd. He had his fourth child, a little girl. He's been helping me find a good Infectious Disease doctor with CC, and night before last, I wrote him an email about 11:45pm, to which he responded immediately...still at the hospital! He had had a PVI beginning at 4:00pm and was trying to get his slides together for a speaking engagement he has in Rome and Niece this week end. I can't get over the way he "gives" of himself to his work, patience, and others.

I'm going to celabrate by going to bed now...assured that I won't wake up with the lousey AF during the night. What a relief!

Sarah
