Hi guys, feeling a lot better. Blood pressure is normal heart rate is quite high. I was pretty scared when the nurses and Cardiologist came to get me for the EP Study. I was also scared of the medication they gave me to relax for the study given the recent Vanderbilt scare of wrong medication I asked the nurse to see the vial. Which really eased my fear. Cardiologist held my hand as everything was set up, the prep was cold on my upper thigh. They cleaned both thighs and the numbing hurt on the inner thigh. They also had IV Tylenol running during the test to help ease some of the pain.

Test was okay it was long and boring I remember talking to the nurse about the medication vial and someone scrubbing up my thigh and groin area with prep and the pinch and sting of the numbing. I don’t remember much of anything after that. My Cardiologist showed me everything and the problem exists in my SA Node and apparently I’m also hypersensitive to adrenaline so anytime my adrenaline surges heart rate massively increases. The @ss really wanted to do an ablation but Cardiologist didn’t like that idea; neither did I. I reacted weirdly to several different medications and some aren’t through an IV. Cardiologist doesn’t think it was the 5MG dose that caused my blood pressure. So that diagnosis is fainting spell not otherwise specified. So we don’t know exactly what to do medication wise.

He’s letting me go tomorrow so I can do my finals tomorrow! He’s going to put me on metoprolol and I get to see him two weeks from now same with the primary for the head lac and concussion, Christmas is getting in the way but I should be okay.

M has asked me to the huge Christmas/New Year’s party the organization throws us on New Year’s eve. So it’s a date for us. He and R were there the entire time during the procedure as was Aunt, Uncle, parents were there waiting. Dad really doesn’t like M or R for the matter since he sees it as them taking me away.

My boss came for a visit during lunch as did a few of the other PA’s and docs at the office. Granted I was still pretty hung over from the medication since it was like ten minutes after. I was good and drunk I can only imagine what was said during the procedure. I also had to lay flat for five hours I’ve finally got the all clear to move again, so I have changed out of the hospital gown and back into pajamas. Just got to make it through the night and I will be home free tomorrow to be able to study for my finals on Wednesday. Assuming my blood pressure doesn’t bottom out in the middle of the night. So now to study and beg someone to get me food for dinner.

I also got to have a meaningful conversation with M, and we have a date set. I really can’t thank him enough for staying the past couple of days, I know that chair is not comfortable not to mention missing a day of work same with R. I’m really excited about the organization Christmas Party.

Hugs to everyone and thank you all for the well wishes. I’m really feeling a lot better today.
