I went in for Lung Surgery to remove a nodule in my lung on Thursday 3/21 at 6:30 AM. In pre-op my heart decided to go into atrial fibrillation – a condition I did not know I had. They were able to stabilize me and finally had surgery at 1:00.
After surgery they told me they could not find the nodule and scheduled a scan for Friday to find and mark it. The scan was horrible because it required me to roll over and lay on my stomach. They could not see the nodule because it was either not there or fluid from the surgery was obstructing it.
I was going to go home on Sunday but Saturday I had another episode of Afib so kept me till Monday.
They are going to do another scan in 3 months and I might have to do this all over again – that’s the bad news. The good news is that they identified my Afib problem and I will be seeing a Cardiologist.
Hope things are going better now…good they found the AFIB ,,so many people have it…hang in there!
Thanks. I am healing as expected.
