I’m a bit more nervous than I’d normally let on about the procedure that my father is having done today.  Okay, okay, I’m nervous about everything but I’ve been trying to hide it in this particular case.

He’s been having issues for several years with a fast heartbeat.  They diagnosed it almost two years ago, and presented a suggested course of treatment.  The “cure” is a somewhat complex procedure where they feed electrodes up an artery in the leg and try to isolate the part of the heart that is causing the electrical abnormalities.  They then zap it to basically disable that area of the heart.  After significant consideration, he decided to go ahead with the procedure which is currently under way at University Hospital in London, Ontario.

Anyways, it should be somewhat obvious after reading the description why it would cause a son to become nervous.  Best of luck Dad!

What?!? You nervous/anxious/worried about something??? Not the Pete I know! :-)

Just remember that you have a support system - shoulders to lean on, ears to listen and arms to hold you.

Sure hope all goes well.

Hey Pete! I am so glad to hear your Dad is doing fine. He’s such a great guy, I mean he was my Doctor for years and years!!!! Hope everyone is doing well and I will be sure to keep your Dad in my prayers as he recovers from his surgery.
