• Pacing Myself

  —Blue Lyon

  Number of comments: 9
  There is no underlying heart disease, and aside from the electrical issues, my heart muscle is strong and undamaged.  The ablation appears to have worsened what I had already before the ablation: that is, the long P-R interval(First Degree Atrioventricular Block).  And unless I could sit with you and draw you [...]

  —Blue Lyon

  Number of comments: 10
  Hokay. Dr. John (one of the cardiologists with Reno Heart Physicians) came to see me this morning with the news.  And basically the problem is both mechanical and electrical.   I’ve got what’s known in cardiac circles as an First Degree Atrioventricular  Block , hereinafter referred to as “FDAVB.” In normal individuals, the AV node slows the conduction [...]

• Healing Heart

  —Blue Lyon

  Number of comments: 7
  I’m required to take it easy this week. No lifting anything over five pounds. I’m really not supposed to be driving, but when you’ve got an automatic with power everything and cruise control, does that really count as driving? More like sitting in a moving chair. So, after one day [...]

• Ablation done

  —Blue Lyon

  Oh yeah, he found the spots. Six of them, to be precise, and if he could, he would have zapped some more. It appears that my heart, when it repaired itself after the ASD surgery, decided to put in a whole lot of extra wiring. I was awake for some [...]

  —Various Things & Stuff

  Number of comments: 2
  Ninth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals Judge Jay Bybee has dodged a misconduct complaint based on those torture memos he wrote while working as a lawyer for the Justice Department under former President George W. Bush. The dismissal never got to the heart of the complaint, since the conduct in [...]
