Hey guys sorry i haven't been updating recently from my blog before, introducing myself and all. Been a busy bee trying to sort out my suitcase etc and tidying up the garden..
Its 7:14pm on a tuesday, and at this precise time im sat on the sofa watching At Worlds End for the 100th time since it came out, my mum seems to think its a good film but ill always stick with the Shaun of the dead or Hot fuzz films.
I havent done much today apart from feel pretty crappy and also feel extremely tired. I helped mum with some gardening today as well, helped her to pull out some brambels and weeds, as she cant do it herself due to her damaged arm, she has tennis elbow and some other muscular problems.
The title of this blog is obviously 8 days till bristol, which means i have 8 days to get my shit into gear for my operation lol..
Obviously because im new on this alot of people dont know what i have and why im having an operation ill explain to you now!
(i want to explain everything to help people in the same position feel as though they are not alone whether they have the same thing i do or not)
Diagnoses and operations! | When and where!
At age 8, i was diagnosed with Wolff Parkinson White syndrome, it is a condition where... (if you dont want to read about me blabbering on in a way that doesnt even explain it, just click this link!) >>>> WPW syndrome!
Its to do with the electrical pathways in the heart, and i have abnormal pathways in my heart between my atria and the ventricles, meaning i have extra beats than everyone else by the electrical beat going through the heart going through the extra bits and going stir crazy basically haha! this causing palipitations in the heart (meaning the heart goes faster) so as the normal persons heart rate is between 60-100 mines like a newborn and is between 70-200 which is extreme when i say it like that!
Anyway i was diagnosed with it when i was eight as i was having a check up for an ear infection, unbelievably so the doctor then decided to drop the bombshell hat i need to see doctors/specialists in bristol, and from there onwards its kind of been the same.. Going to my local GP to check my medicine signs and going to bristol to see my main doc and having operations.
Throughout my operations (ive had 4, this is the 5th) things have popped up on the way, theyve discovered i have Supraventricular Tachycardia (again link)>>>SVT im not going to explain that because its too difficult lol, and then they discovered i had Atrioventricular Reentrant Tachycardia (again again link)>>> AVRT Which basically meant my heart was over working extremely hard, and it caused problems with breathing etc.. After my first operation i was given meds, and theyve rose the dosage majorly and it turns out im on the highest dosage of the meds for my heart (Flechanide 150mg twice a day, Atenalol 25mg twice a day).
SO ANYWAY alongside all that technical bollocks! this is my fifth operation, and last time it didnt go really that well so im hoping that it goes okay this time! My operation is radio ablation through little tiny wires that go into my groin into the main artery in my leg and up to my heart through the vein, its very clever actually...
but anyway yeah so in 8 days ill be having all of that done which is pretty interesting, thought id share it with you all because i obviously want to start a proper blog, and if you guys are interested you should know alot about me!!
Sorry for such a LONG post but thought id explain myself!
Hope things are good with everyone! MK xx
