Heart ablation update:
On 11/20/25, I went to Pittsburgh for a heart ablation, a pretty common and safe procedure. Unfortunately, I had multiple very serious complications. I was supposed to be discharged and take a week off work, but due to the complications, I spent the next 5 days in the cardiac ICU. I finally came home Tuesday evening. Since being home, I've already made one trip to the ER for an infection at the incision site. I've also been in A-Fib most of the time I've been home. This has caused me to become short of breath with any amount of walking or even doing small easy tasks. I've already cancelled all my dogs for Monday and Tuesday, and will need to cancel Wednesday morning for an appointment with my P*P. Based on how I've felt since having the procedure, I honestly don't know when I'll be able to return to work. 💔
I will update again Wednesday after my appointment. I'm so sorry. This has been a VERY challenging year for me and I was VERY hopeful that having the ablation would be the turning point. If you believe in the power of prayer, I humbly ask if you'd keep me in your prayers. Thank you. ❤️
