For those of y'all that were following the start of my Jeepster build, ya already know a little bit.
For the rest of y'all who wanna know, I'll give a brief recap.
19th of July woke up in what I would later find out to be an SVT episode (Super Ventricular Tachycardia) with a heart rate of in around and upwards of 250bpm. EMS stopped my heart 3 times before it returned to a normal rate and rhythm.
Since them I've been in an on and off milder episodes nearly everyday, some lasting 2+ days, landing me back in the ER more than a couple times.
Today was the big day! Underwent ablation procedures to fix the issues. Turns out there were a few more issues than initially though once they got in and started mapping the electrical pathways and I ended up in 6 different AFIB events and had to be ecltrocardioverted 11 times because they were so severe that it had to be done multiple time for each event.
At the end of the day, I'm still alive with 20 different ablation spots in 3 chambers of my heart with an 80% chance that it was 100% completed. Even if it wasn't a 100% successful the areas that could cause it to happen again are tiny and very slim chance of repeat performances. All in all things went well and will be on my way home in the morning.
The last 2 months have been intense to say the least, but today was indescribable.
