The best goodbye!




I am soooooooo behind on blogging so now is my time to catch up a little!
Sorry if its a bit of a blog overload!
I haven't been feeling the greatest lately.
I get weird shaky feelings, my heart races at weird times, I faint randomly,and my body just doesn't feel normal.
I went to the doctor a few weeks ago to see what this could be and they had me do multiple tests.
They did an EKG, blood tests, a 24 hour urine test! (haha so awkward) and they had me wear a way sweet monitor for a week.
A WHOLE WEEK!!! (I really shouldn't be complaining because I've heard that a week is nothing compared to what other people have to do.)
The purpose:
Every time I felt my heart race or beat out of  rhythm, I had to push this little button and it would send a recording to the eCardio place.
If my heart did something weird without me noticing it would record on its own.
Anyway, this monitor was an ugly little thing.
It looked like a freaking pager or something like that just chillin on my hip.
There was absolutely NO way of hiding it! (Trust me, I tried. Ha!)
But I really want to know what is going on so I had no other choice than to wear it.
Nights were the worst.
I move a lot in my sleep but because I had to wear this, I was scared of pulling it off or accidentally pushing the button so I could never sleep!!!
After the longest week of my life, it finally came off! Lovely.
It left some pretty little marks on my skin where the stickers were but i'll take those any day!
The doc called last friday and said that the results show that my heart went from normal to really fast a few times and that one night in my sleep my heart was going nutso!
Its a little bit of a concern so I will be seeing a heart specialist next week!
I guess we'll see what he says!
For now, I am just happy I got to say goodbye to my little friend!
Happy day! :)


See ya later, dude!
