Friday November 7...2:45 pm

The cardiologist just stopped by and said they found that Robert has numerous "lesions" (blockages) in his arteries. They stented the two most significant, with various lengths in each. He also was not nearly as excited as I about his heart returning to sinus rhythm...he said it will go a-fib again so he needs to have the ablation done. The sooner the better...but it's the weekend :( His recommendation was to stay put here and have the procedure done first thing Monday morning. He anticipates discharge late that afternoon, in plenty of time to go home and get some sleep and then have his biopsy on Tuesday morning! So nice that all of this can be done on the same "bridge"...I'm content to stay put knowing that if he went home and flipped to a-fib again, we would repeat last night. Better he already be here!
Thanks for continuing on our roller coaster ride.
