>>ablation, meaning heat and friction remove enough of the tile material that after several re-entries they must be replaced.

Good grief--I had a cardiac ablation earlier this year!


That's serious heartburn, Jackie.

GROAN! It was, actually, but it didn't hurt a bit.
The doc threaded this device into my heart, where it located and closed off (with laser, I think) the places where the electrical impulses were slipping through where they shouldn't oughta. And only a tiny incision, just big enough for the device. Isn't that amazing? They can go into--right inside!--your heart and do stuff, and not only do you live, you can barely tell anything's happened!

You ain't kidding.

I'm delighted it went well, and - certainly in this case - I tip my hat to modern medical science.

And now, of course, she's tracked every minute and hour by a satellite which reports directly to the FBI, the NSA and - worst of all - the IRS.
