Dear Kate

I quite understand. I know my pathway was very near the SV node and
they were worried about burning away too much and damaging the SV
node. As I signed the consent form my doctor told me I had a 1 in 200
chance of having a pacemaker by the end of the day. This seemed VERY
huge at the time but I signed anyway, sometimes you just have to go
with their advice, don't you. Anyway, thank God it didn't happen.
But they did say a pacemaker is not the end of the world and life can
go on as normal.

I really sympathise with the tiredness, fatigue and stress. You will
just have to be really good to yourself, give yourself treats and make
sure you get time to relax (I know this can be easier said than done).

Good luck.

Sandra
