| History of surgery | pacemaker fitted in 2004, was due to have a AV node ablation in Oct, but since having a scan of my heart last week was told the AF, had caused alot of damage to my heart, and they may not be able to proceed with the ablation. |

| Future plans | havnt made any, feel too ill most of the time. although my daughter emigrates to Australia soon and I would like to visit every couple of years if it is possible. |

| Personal comments | I am really sick of having AF, my days are filled with trying to fit everything into one day, ( very difficult when I am sometimes in AF 6 hours to 10 hours at a time.)
I can only walk a few steps to the bathroom, or to make tea when I am in AF, as I feel too breathless and faint when I move about too much. |
