Best and Worst of 2010
The best:
1> Doing the Rae Lakes Loop in September
It was a really beautiful run, and it was kinda magical to run it solo starting at night.
Since I didnt have any where to sleep it was sort of an 'all-in' wager where once I started
down the far side of Glenn Pass, I had to make it back to the car or I would have a cold, lonely
night by myself. But it worked out, so I had a great feeling of accomplishment. Also it was the fartherest
I had run since surgery and it worked out, so I felt like a had a piece of my life back.
The worst:
2> No successful treatment
My cardiac procedure was painful or uncomfortable in constantly new ways for 20 hours. I think I took it
pretty well, but at the time I thought that that day would be amongst the worst in my life, as in up
there with losing a spouse, child or dying yourself (although this just might be my inexperience with death speaking.) Also I tried two drugs and nothing worked. Also my condition effects my day to day life more, such as it is now harder to carry dog food from the car without an attack, and my running has suffered.
Lets hope 2011 has more adventure running, and less heart problems.

Just found your blog by accident. I am relatively new to AF but as an ultra runner am interested in your experience. Did you ever write Part 2 of your ablation story? And I gather you've been back for further ablation/s? Also curious about your experience with Sotalol. After my third ER visit in a fortnight they sent me home with a low dose of it to take for the next fortnight before I was to see my Cardiologist. He switched me to Flecainide and Digoxin but I was too sick on the both so am now just on the Flec.
ReplyDeleteMy condition is a bit different but similarly restricting. I just canceled my entry to Hardrock. I don't need to tell you what that means.
Cheers.
Thank you for sharing. Good for you and keep up the great work.
