I was fencing until the pandemic. About 20 years older than the seasoned adults, 40+ years more than the mobs of pretty-good high school/college kids. You had to use your brain.

So at the start of each tournament round, when you'd shake hands, I, graybeard, might hunch over a little extra, maybe wheeze out a "let's just have a good fun match," sort of slouch back, put on mask and get in a stance.

And the EXACT SPLIT SECOND the judge said "fence," leap through the air and stab em in the face.

Damn it felt good to be a gangster.

Dude, get the ablation scheduled already!

I have SVT and was on medication for a few years to control it. Over time the meds became less effective so I finally gave into having an ablation done. I was a bit apprehensive but am glad that I finally had it done. It has been almost two years since I had the procedure and have not had any issues.

I was semi alert during the procedure as I could feel them artificially changing my heart rate. During the procedure I developed a horrible itch and kept trying to scratch it. They told me to stop but the irritation was too great so they ended up restraining my hands.

Post procedure you have to lay on your back for about 4 to 6 hours. After that you are pretty much back to normal. After about 3 weeks I was back to playing full court basketball.
