An End to the Silence

So I havn't written for a long time. It's been chaotic. I had to quit the heart moniter test early beause the regular electrodes ripped off skin and the "hypo-allergenic" ones gave me a rash of all things. Anyway all the tests are done and I don't have to worry about it for now. Jhai and I both have had trouble sleeping the past week (except for last night).We still can't find jobs and financial aid is taking forever to get back to us about how much we will get. We were supposed to sign up for classes on Monday but we can't sign up for them without paying the regestration fee. UGH This is a pain. So until something interesting happens...

Stress Test Results

Today I had my stress test. They put me on the treadmill and I did fine except for the last 30 seconds. That's when I started to get dizzy and an upset tummy. It's stayed with me all day. I was in bed for most of the day feeling sick. ANYWAY... The doctor said that my condition is nothing to worry about right now. If it gets worse then that's when I have to deal with it. I should have no problems when Jhai and I decide to get pregnant either.

12 days left to go on my heart monitor too! I had to call Cardionet again to have them send me some hypoallergenic electrodes. The ones that I've been using are tearing off skin and it hurts like heck.

So Yah that's about it for now. I'll keep you updated!

An exciting week

The title says it all. This week has been full of drama drama and more drama.

I got the heart moniter hooked up to me. It would beep at me constantly telling me that it couldn't connect to the sensor. It would keep me up at night and the third day I heard something rattling around inside so I called Cardionet (the company who sent me the moniter) and told them what had been going on. They told me to unhook it and they would send me a new one. It arrived early the next morning to I am officially on day 5 so only 16 days to go lol. I sent the bad one back but they kept calling me to return it. I called them and told them that I already sent it back so they discontinued the automated calls.

A couple of days ago Jhai and I got a call from our bank saying that we were over $200 overdrawn. It turns out that Ancestry.com charged us $150 for an account we cancled over a month ago. We got the confirmation letter and they called me while I was in the hospital on April 1st to see why we cancled. It took us 3 days to fix it and they said they will refund all of the money they took out. Now we are fighting our bank because of the overdraft fees of  $90. I know we will win though.

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!
