Well got back from the doctor for an annual check up and found out my heart is back in Afib. I had a cardioversion done last year, and the cardiologist was hoping that would solve the problem. But 9 months later here I am back at square one. It was my regular physician that found it. So she did an EKG on me and sent the results to the cardiologist that did my cardioversion so he could make a plan on what he wants to do next. When he did the cardioversion he said then that if it didn't work permanently that he more than likely would move to a catheter ablation. Not really looking forward to surgery if that ends up being the case.
The one bright side, if you even want to call it that, is that at least this go around I have health insurance. So I at least don't have the financial stress I did the first time this happened. But of course it not happening at all again would be an even brighter side.

That's rough, adamwarlock2099... I'm glad you're at least spared the added problem of worrying about insurance, but yeah, it would be much better if you could be spared surgery altogether. Here's hoping it won't be necessary after all.

Best wishes and hopes adamwarlock2099 for avoiding surgery! That should be the last resort if all else fails.

Sorry to hear this, but delighted that you have insurance this time!! Glad you are taking care of yourself!

Hope it all works out for you, preferably with no surgery, but if that is what it takes to fix the issue entirely, then I pray it goes well and you recover quickly.

I remember a similar bit in the end of Cap's Bicentennial Battles. Which truthfully is the only part of Kirby's return to Cap in the 70's that I liked (Felt too much like a continuation of concepts from and ideas inspired by OMAC than an actual Captain America story tbh) This last panel almost put a tear in my eye. Captain America is great.

Been enjoying Journey Into Mystery thanks in part to Hoosier X. Decided to doodle Thor. Yes, I know that I tend to draw men overly bulky and muscular, kind of a habit >o>;

Conversely, my figure would probably be flattered by a Fred Hembeck sketch.

Sending positive vibes your way... some folks call it well wishes, some call it good luck, I call it prayer.
All the best to you-- keep us informed, please.
