Made it through my epicardial ablation. Apparently I gave the electrophysiologists quite the challenge, but after 6 hours all the faulty circuits had been blocked and no ventricular tachycardia could be induced #arvc #cardiomyopathy 🫀

Getting settled in at the hospital for my epicardial ablation tomorrow. I’ve already had an endocardial ablation to manage my arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy, but as my arrhythmias were coming from the outside of my heart, I’ll need an ablation there to set things right #ARVC
A chest X-ray dated 18th September 2024, showing an implanted cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD). The ICD sits on the left side of my chest and has two leads: one going into the right ventricle and the other in the right atrium
Happy first birthday to my ICD! I’m eternally grateful for the new lease of life it’s given me #cardiology #ARVC #cardiomyopathy

It turns out old dogs can teach us new tricks.

I've been going through a lot while also trying to be a solopreneur. I finally wrote about it.

Researchers race to cure 'Newfoundland curse,' which can kill without warning. Arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy is caused by a genetic mutation that clusters in 28 Newfoundland families, by @sarahsmellie.bsky.social www.thestar.com/news/canada/... via @thestar.com #ARVC #genomics
Screenshot of a mobile device showing an ICD monitoring app. The message on the screen says: "Checking your heart device... This may take several minutes. Keep the app open and your mobile device nearby."
18 months on, and this still feels surreal, even for a clued-up #scicomm pro!
A clinic in another part of the country can access the implant INSIDE my body to check that I am safe. 🤯
Flippin' marvellous! 🫀😀

It's actually a great comfort knowing that it is there, keeping an eye on me. It's saved my life once already. 🫀👌😃 #heart #cardiomyopathy #ARVC #AVC
I have a little drummer tapping away under my ribs at a perfect 50 bpm. 🥁
Typical investigative physicist... I keep tweaking my posture to see which positions allow me to feel it.
I should probably get out more. #cardiomyopathy #AVC #ARVC
Cardiomyopathy update: Today is the first day of increased beta-blockade and I've slammed into a wall, as predicted. Sluggish as hell, I can barely keep my eyes open, yet alone focussed, and I've been nodding-off mid-sentence.
Dad: "We hadn't noticed any difference."

At the hospital, waiting for my annual cardiac device (ICD) check. This is where I get the impedance measured on the wires and shock coils in my heart. They will also run some diagnostics to check if the device programming/profile needs a tweak. #ARVC #cardiomyopathy
I thought I'd been doing okay recovering from this respiratory bug. Today is a reminder that I can't just get up and push on when I start to feel a bit better. I'm paying the price now. Idiot.🤦🏼♂️
Life is different now, yet I still sometimes forget.
#cardiomyopathy #ARVC
Following a life-changing diagnosis, a lot of great things can be achieved. It's been a difficult journey and I've needed a lot of support, but I am proud to stand with my fellow #PPIE friends.

Puppy face! Pearl at just a few months old.
Did I *want* to get up at 5:30am on a Saturday? No. On the other hand I’m sure I’m not the only dog owner who gets up to care for a dog with medical needs. Pearl will need her cardiac meds the rest of her life, so get up at 5:xx every day I shall.

Someone’s tummy is finally feeling better!!! (It’s Pearl) Someone is eating full meals, not throwing up, & doing their business in the yard normally. This is at least 3 days with no upsets. We’ve been struggling to balance her cardiac meds & food & looks like we finally hit it. 🥹

Pearl and Duncan are still on time out because the way they like to interact is usually pretty rough and her heart can’t really have that. Pearl and her holter monitor last night.
