Surgery DONE!!!

Hi folks,
Well after a fairly long and somewhat grueling 8 hour procedure, the ole ticker is now fixed and should be fixed for good this time! W00T!!!!
Took the EP techs a while to find the rhythm this time whereas the first time I had this done, they found the anomalous rhythm fairly quickly. We once again confirmed that my tachycardia was SVT (Supra Ventricular Tachycardia...this is the less dangerous kind of tachycardia) that was being masked as VT (Ventricular Tachycardia....this is the very dangerous kind since if you have runs of Vtach, your heart is not pumping blood effectively all the while...that's bad : ) I basically have (had) a condition known as Wolff Parkinson White syndrome (the weird part of me intellectually gets off a little bit that my condition has the word wolf in it...but I digress). Means I had an additional accessory electrical pathway that needed to be ablated so the electrical signal can progress through the heart chambers normally. All fixed now!!!
Thanks EVERYONE for your well wishes and your support. I also want to AGAIN call out the cast of characters that require extra super special thanks know who you are. I love you all and cannot thank you all enough for helping me through this and the rest of the drama (Dobie, Fox, Xavior, Ramzin, Wolfie et al.) Words cannot express how thankful this wolf is to have friends such as you in my life. I only hope that I can help each of you half as much as you have helped me.
Take care again everyone and I thank everyone for all of the support.
Peace....
