A-FIB IS not a big deal if given appropriate meds, and if you feel like you are being screwed start the baby ASA a day routine and it will basically give you all the protection needed.

This is good news. I'm glad she's getting what she needs at Shannondell.
Don't get complacent though. Show an interest when you visit so the staff there continues the fine level of treatment. Hopefully she won't need to be there too long. |

The problem Merc is that post-surgery she could not be given blood thinners of any kind, and clots are a more severe stroke risk then. The hospital would IV the med for it and it was always a more serious med, one that's only used for more severe arrhythmia, because it can't be used for more than two months without liver risk.
Now that she is further past surgery, and stronger, the AF will be less of a problem. And now that she can sit up without oxygen, I can be her ambulance service for anything that happens from now on. |

Progressing along nicely, she will be out of the rehab and into my house by the end of this week, headed for a 100% recovery.
And that's when the fireworks really get started... hi mom |

the less good news, there's an old Ballard idiom for trouble represented by "two women under one roof". Good luck man!
