Pass/Fail

Took the treadmill part of the stress test this afternoon. The disappointing news is that I didn't last very long before I was winded and my legs started to ache (hence the "fail"), I have so little stamina nowadays it's scary. But the good news is I can go on the stationary bike again, as well as increase other physical activity, because my heart is operating within normal parameters when I exercise. Since the 8th I've been afraid to breathe wrong for fear of setting off the a-fib again! I also noticed I can do a kind of biofeedback thing to lower my heart rate if I'm hooked up to a monitor, so I'm going to get a fairly cheap one and start practicing.
