Yes, it is, Mary. I had a small bout with A-Fib while still under anesthetic, and another one while I was in the hospital, so I'm on warfarin until November, and Metropolol(sp?) for a really LONG time....

I'm 5 and a half weeks out from surgery, and feeling good. I've been in rehab for 2 weeks.

I've been home since Sunday, as I had a minor bout of A Fib (which scared the heck out of me). Walked about a mile yesterday, over the course of the entire day.
