As I felt the anesthetic beginning to work, I said, "Goodnight, everybody!" Try it and see what reaction you get.

Since you need the procedure, relax. There will be nothing you can do to help during the procedure because you will be sedated. Just turn yourself over to your cardiologist and follow his/her advice. You need to make sure your body is in the best shape it can be between now and when the ablation is done. Eat healthy. Get mild exercise to the extent that you can. Walk daily. Stop if you need to recover, then continue on. Stressing over it will accomplish nothing. Surrender to the experience and choose happiness on a daily basis. If you do these things, it will be a breeze!

If you have a sense of humor, use it. I'm sure you've heard that laughter is the best medicine. It's true! If you are relaxed, it will help your cardiologist and nurses to relax. That will be a huge help for them. Best wishes!!!
