We finally made it home but it was a day later than expected. We made it to Kalamazoo at 12:30 AM this morning. We spent the night at our daughter's apartment there. Our son came and picked us up this morning and we made the trip to Grand Rapids to pick up our luggage. The airlines won't reroute your luggage if you decide to change you destination. We still figured it would be worth it to get back to Michigan last night versus waiting until Saturday night or Sunday. No offense to anyone from Minneapolis but 9 hours hanging around the airport there is about 8 hours too many.
My ablation recovery continues to go well. I've been in normal sinus rhythm since the ablation. I noticed more "skipped beats" (PVC's or PAC's) yesterday and today but I was seriously sleep deprived so hopefully they will calm down. My right groin incision is the only one giving me any problems. My "California" bruise was joined by Oregon and Washington and the area remains a little tender but nothing to worry about.
I continue the daily monitoring with the HeartCard device. I will have to call in the recordings from work or somewhere else because the device is not compatible with cell phones and that is all we have anymore. I was put back on my heart meds (Flecainide and Cardizem) after the ablation but my understanding is I will be able to discontinue those once it is shown I have not been in AF for an extended period. This is one reason for the daily monitoring.
So now it is time to catch up on sleep, mail, bills... you know the routine.
