Guest guest Posted November 21, 2008 Report Share Posted November 21, 2008 , I told the PT nurse that I was in A-Fib while talking to her on Wednesday and am waiting to go back to the hospital until this coming week. I've been in the ER a couple of times with it but I can tell when it happens, so I lie down, the same treatment in the ER, and it goes away. I certainly appreciate your concern but since I'm stubborn, I'll take care of it in my time. I've always been very attentive about our health and used to be a 'card-carrying' First Aid Instructor, so I know all about everything. You know how that goes, right? Thanks again for the concern, I appreciate it. Dennis in eastexas On Fri, Nov 21, 2008 at 10:29 PM, susan <sasupbin@...> wrote: > Dennis, I almost never post.
