YAY!!!!! More Tests

So I got the haulter moniter test and the sonogram of my heart done. There were about 4 episodes recorded on the haluter moniter and the sonogram showed that my heart was a bit jumpy. They are now going to do a 21 day haulter moniter test on me. It's going to show how often I get an episode and if I need to have the procedure done. (The ablation isn't a surgery. I learned from one of the other doctors that it's what they call an invasive procedure. The only thing is I'd most likely have to travel to Sacremento to have it done [Maybe my best friend could come see me in the hospital. Hint hint wink wink nudge nudge Suzanne.] ) The test that they are going to do will determine if they need to do the procedure. I'm going to see if they can activate it today. I have to call the company in order to do it. Hopefully they have someone availible.

Heart Update

SO.... I had to have a halter moniter test and a songram of my heart done. On the 4th, I have to have a stress test. I should hear from the by tomorrow. I asked about the ablation. It isn't even a surgery. It's what they call an "invasive procedure". I wouldn't even have to get put out. They would just sedate me, run a flexable cathiter through a vein to my heart and zap the pathway that is causing the problems. I'd never have to worry about my heart problem again. They don't know if it's genetic so I'm not sure if I could pass it to my kids. I'll be able to discuss it more when I talk to Dr. Khan when all the tests are done. Well that's all for now. I'll keep all of you updated.

Our First Anniversary!!!!!!!!!

Our first anniversary was today! It was a great day.This afternoon we went to lunch at Taco Bell then headed to the casino to see if we could win some extra money. We won enough to cover our lunch and that's about it. After that we went to Barns and Noble to do a bit of reading. Jhai bought me a caramel macciado and himself a blended chi tea. We wandered the mall for a bit after that. We headed to dinner at about 5. Jhai took me to Olive Garden which is right next to Red Robbin. Much to our supprise we saw Jhai's Mom and Michael (his step dad) at Red Robbin. We called them and talked for a minute then went to dinner. We had an amazing waitress named Patricia. She was very attentive and the best waitress either of us had ever had. She was awesome. She even gave us her number so we could hang out sometime. She also invited us to join a group once we get back to college. It's a group that helps people who are new to the college learn the ropes. They are even going to do a bit of  fund raising to help people that don't qualify for financial aid of any kind. Afterward Jhai and I headed home and got int our pajamas because we were going to watch a couple of movies. Then it happened. Jhai noticed that his cell was missing. We looked everywhere for it. We were looking in the car when my cell rang with Jhai's ringtone. The voice on the other end said that they found a cell phone and they were trying to return it and that they were in Eugene, CA.Then they started laughing. It was Patricia. She found Jhai's phone while cleaning off our table. lol. We got dressed again and went back to Olive Garden to get it. When we got home we watched "The Princess and the Frog" and "Shutter Island". It's been a great first anniversary! Thanks to everyone who helped make it that way!

Our First Wedding Anniversary

Tomorrow is my and Jhai's first anniversary. Well married at least. We've been together for two years. We don't have muc money to do anything really so we will be  going to the casino with free play money we have. lol We should get a little bit of money from that. It's just going to be nice to spend time alone with my husband.

FINALLY!!!!!

Okay... So I finally heard back from the doctor. It's confirmed that I have WPW. American Heart Association WPW I have an appointment with my mom's cardiologist for April 14th. He should be able to help me figure out how to control it. I know that I'll have to go on a diet and exercise more but he might also put me on a medication if he thinks it's bad enough. The worst case scenerio is I have to have surgery. It's all in the website that's linked up there.




I also finally get to have my tooth fixed tomorrow. Thank goodness. It's starting to annoy me.



Anyway that's all for now. I'll keep all of you updated.

Forget the Dentist! Go Straight to the ER!

Well last night after dinner I discovered that I chipped my tooth. So this morning Jhai is desprately calling every dentist offce in Redding to see who takes our insurance. One that did was Western Dental and they could get me in today! So we set an 11:45 appointment and show up, do the paperwork and quietly wait our turn. They call me back and take my blood pressure before they take the X-Ray and the nurse stops and her eyes get wide. She told me that they may have to send me to the ER. My blood pressure was 144/ 130!!!! Jhai and I went quickly to the ER here. They quickly got me in and took my blood pressure again. It was about 140/99. Not as bad. The rest of my day was spent doing ECGs, Chest E-Xrays and being hooked up to a blood pressure machine and a heart rate machine. We were at that hospital for 7 hours. All the tests came out clear except for my ECG. The nurses kept saying it came out "funky" but no one would tell us why. They discharged me and Jhai and I waited for the doctor so we could ask what was wrong with my ECG. The nurse brought me a copy of it and after waiting 10 minutes we finally got to talk to the doctor. She looked at it and instantly saw something wrong. She asked several other doctors for their opinions. She came back and said that she was sending the results to a cardiologist and to call him tomorrow to see if it's Wolff-Parkenson-White Syndrome.
