it is controlled with drugs to lower the heart rate and with blood thinners to stop clots forming and causing a stroke. Ablation is a procedure that can be done if it comes to that. I'm not a doctor I'm just living with it. It is very common and in my case fairly mild. Do you want to hear about my awesome shovel?
Can this awesome shovel do tricks?

Why doesn't someone fix it?

In some cases, depending on what's causing it. A friend had it due to extra impulses to the heart from secondary nerves. It was treated with drugs until they became less effective and they did an ablation, running a wire up through the groin to blast the part of the heart where the extra beats were getting their signal.In his case it worked out perfectly and we were mountain biking steep climbs at 9000 feet a few weeks later.

while we’re on the subject, do you have any idea on how to teach a almost three year old how to use this thing? I made a little progress last night but she doesnt seem to get it.

Woke up at 430 am this morning. Plan was to do 50 miles but then I saw the temperature. 24 degrees, it’s now 630 and still 24 degrees. Times like this I wish I was able to ride during the day, it’s suppose to reach 50 by 1 pm. Guess i’ll do 25 this morning and try and do another 25 tonight.

She might awkwardly walk around while straddling it for a bit, then she'll sit down and walk it, one foot always on the ground at any time. Eventually, though, she'll lift both feet and start to glide. If you want to demonstrate for her, you could use your wife's bike, rather than lower the saddle on yours. Don't get impatient, though, and I wouldn't instruct her, per se - she can watch you a little bit and then figure it out on her own. Take little family walks around the block and have her bring the bike. It might take a while, but when it finally clicks, she'll take off.
