So Far So Good

My husband's cardiac ablation went well today. The surgeon said that it was straightforward and did not present any surprises. So now three months on extra meds--a blood thinner and prilosec--and maintenance on his previous meds that didn't seem to do any good at all. As the nurse said, he is generally in good health so all the signs point to an uneventful recovery and a successful outcome. If all goes as planned he will climb El Capitan next summer with our son. They climbed El Cap 25 years ago when my husband turned forty and our son was 15. Now the son is 40 and the husband is 65 but he couldn't do any exercise to speak of this year with the atrial fibrillation. So fingers crossed for that good result, he is just happier when he is active. The only fly in the ointment is the diet restrictions with the blood thinner. There are some days when we eat spinach for each meal so going without those leafy greens will be tough.
