****Latest Update****

Well since my 2nd Cardioversion I've been doing real good. Went to see my regular Cardiologist on 12/10/20 for a followup check. He looked at me and said, you look like you've lost a little weight.......yep, I've lost 56 lbs. I went from 216 down to 160. I havent weighed this in probably 30 years. (back to 168 now)

Well looking at your EKG it looks great. How long have you been off the A-Fib? About 4 months now....how do you feel....It's a great feeling to have my heart back into a steady pace now........good deal, I'll see ya back here in 6 months.

Went and saw the Doc that gave me my 2nd Cardioversion in Aug last week. They did a EKG and said "I'M LOVIN THE RESULTS". Have you had any of the symptoms as before? Nope, no heart flutter or anything for over 7 months now, I feel great and have only put on 10 lbs........168 is too skinny for me....LOL.

Ok Ken..........I'll see you again in September.

***NEW UPDATE***

Well its been 1 year and 8 months A-Fib free....now I wish the rest of my body would straighten up.

I went in 1 1/2 months ago for a CT Scan then had a Colonoscopy. Colonoscopy went good but he told me I have Diverticulitus and Kidney Stones.

I saw my Urologist and he said I have between 50 and 60 stones with the largest one being just under 1" in diameter. Yesterday morning he put in a stent so I could pass some of the smaller ones....oh woopie !! I got home around noon and immediately started peeing blood, then pukin my guts out, then shittin bricks.....man what a night, up more than every hour on the hour to pee. My insides feel like they wanna blow out of my body it hurts so bad. He's supposed to call me first thing in the morning. I'm supposed to go in next Monday for him to laser out the larger stones. As of right now I've lost 9 lbs since yesterday.

Wow. Sorry to hear that. Hopefully the can get you on the right track. I have heard that kidney stones is worst then having a baby. Be in our prayers things get better.

Wow that is rough. Prayers it is over soon.

Well I lost a total of 13 lbs. I thought I was "Machine Gun Kelley" there for a while. The pukin stopped after 2 days but the blood continued till Sunday afternoon.

I went back in on May 10th for the laser surgery and to have the stent removed.....I told the guy that puts me under, that whatever you did last time...DONT DO IT AGAIN !! He tried a different thing and lower dosage and it wasnt too bad. Doc said one of my cavities in my kidney has a deformed opening and he couldnt get the laser in to zap the stone. Said it was a pretty good size one too. So we just gotta keep an eye out for it for now. If it gets worse, he'll make a small incision in my back and insert a tube to suck the stone out........I should just tell him to go for it now.
