So I went to see my GP today because of my concerns regarding healing. He said that I should be prepared for the possibility that my AF is chronic and may flare up from time to time, even for the rest of my life. Yeesh, I did not need to hear that! He did give me a referral to a CRS so I could have my situation more thoroughly assessed. He seems to think that this is something I should prepare to just live with, but I really, really want to get rid of this for good, and I hope I can do so without surgery!
I have a question regarding keeping the AF dry. How is this even possible what with all the ointments--diltiazem and Vitamin E--constantly being applied? Can it still heal with all the ointments???
Arg! It's so hard to find the right balance of care for this thing. I think I'm having another bad moment!
