Day 159: Answers
This morning at about 4 I had a dream that I was gasping for air and having chest pain... Well soon after the nurses came in and woke me and Patrick up asking if I was having chest pain or shortness of breath.... I told them no and they told me that something was different with my heart. I called my mom and she came over to the hospital! I had to do a couple more labs and another EKG! But we finally got answers... I have something called LQTS which pretty much means I have something like an abnormal heartbeat... My QT rests for too long and then starts to spaz if it gets too worked up... Im sure yall could research it... Well the doctor told me that he was going to send in the specialist on his lunch break... This meant more waiting. After Dr. Tate came in and explained everything to us he talked about what the next step was... Surgery... I was told that I have to put a defibrillator in! I would be able to go home as soon as a thing called a life vest came in... which is pretty much a external defibrillator. Well the doctor who has to bring it and fit it and everything was on vacation... They were going to try and send someone in from vegas! The day goes on and more people are coming to visit so the time is going by faster! I have learned that you cant cry in a hospital without anyone knowing... Every time I started to cry someone new would come it! It was good but it also sucked because I just wanted some time to cry! FINALLY the life vest came in and I got to go home!!! I got the tutorial on the thing and then he sent me off!! After I got home I showered and then Patrick and I watched a movie until I fell asleep!!
