You’re a fucking savage man. I can’t believe what kind of pain you’ve walked this earth enduring in your adulthood.
Really hoping things get better for you soon. You’ve been motivating me for like ten years bro!

I feel you, Bro. I am 68 and was at 265 last December. Down to 218 now, with target weight of 209 for Classic Physique competition. No drugs or shortcuts, just a completely new and healthy diet, and a lot of time downstairs in my basement gym. Biggest diet change was/is no more fried foods or alcohol. Best weight-burner in the gym was/is 45 minutes on the treadmill wearing ankle weights.
Awesome job and competing!!! Thanks for sharing brother keep it up!

Yeah it’s weird my HR is bouncing from 48-153 throughout the day you can feel it sometimes. Just got my IV hopefully within an hour I’ll be back to normal. The problem is it probably won’t hold the next procedure is Pulse Field Ablation it’s newer and allegedly safer than thermal ablation so we’ll see
I appreciate the thoughts!

Well the cardioversion didn’t work onto the pulse field ablation next hopefully in the next couple weeks. Apparently my heart went back to normal for a couple of seconds, but then just popped right back into afib. Bummed they’re gonna run me on another medicine for a couple of weeks. Hopefully they can get me in sooner than later for the next procedure.

Ok good news! Long day in the books. For those who may not know the situation I’ve been in afib for the last three months and they tried a cardioversion, which is basically like paddles on your chest that burned me, but didn’t put me back in sinus rhythm. Had to wait another three weeks till today to go in for a pulse field ablation where they run a catheter up through your femoral artery into your heart and they hit it with some energy substantial energy apparently and it actually kills a very small area where the energy is impacting. That is the spot where it’s misfiring allegedly that’s how I perceive the situation. Anyway, it went fantastic. My heart is back in sinus rhythm and I feel completely better than I have been feeling for the last several months, I’ve gotta wait. I think like 10 days before I can go back to the gym, but that’s my plan gym and walking in trying to not do this shit again. Apparently the prognosis was it would take up to three months for it to kick in so I’m not saying that tomorrow I don’t wake up and I’m back in it but for right now everything looks fantastic. Hopefully it stays that way thanks for everybody’s positive thoughts and prayers.
