Pain in the...

I am bruised and sore. I had a cardiac ablation done on Dec. 29th, 2010 for my WPW. I have put this off for 20 years. It was minimally invasive like the Dr's have always said. I arrived at the hospital at 7 am. Went to the procedure room at 7:45 and came out around 1ish pm. I was not totally put under but was in a twilight. After I was brought into my room to recover, I had to lay flat for 3 hours and then for the last hour I was able to sit at a 30 degree angle but was not allowed to move my head forward. I left the hospital at 5:00 pm and came home. I have bruising from my groin to my mid-thigh. But all in all, my recovery is going well. I am still having some palpitations but I won't really know for a few months whether or not it worked. It has been a long time coming and I am so hoping that I do not need to have it done again.
