ShOcK...

Well today I had an appointment at the Cardiology clinic.. When I arrived I had to do blood work to make sure things were okay to proceed.. I got to the cardio clinic and got all checked in.. I told them that I could feel my heart racing out of control.. They answered back that they will hook up an EKG to check it out.. I got back to the room that they preformed the procedure in.. He turned on the EKG machine and all he said was.. "UM..WOW" I was thinking..I told you my heart was racing to win 1st place in a marathon..
We were waiting for the lab results so we could continue with everything.. Still no results.. So he went to make a phone call to lab to see what the hold up was.. Come to find out they drew the wrong labs.. No surprise to me that again they had drawn their own made up labs the benefited me in no way.. So we had to wait another hour for the RIGHT results to arrive.. They finally came in and everything was good to continue.. They placed a pad on my chest and a pad on my back.. Those are used to transfer currents through my heart..

Below is my what is supposed to be a heart rhythm before the sent the electrical currents through.. I was told that my heart rate was 195..


This is right when the electricity was sent through..


This is the rhythm right after the shock was sent


And this beautiful pic is of the rhythm after the heart was back into "normal" beats at the rate of 77..


Man do I feel tons better after that.. It makes me feel like I can finally rest without my heart trying to jump out of my body.. I do have what looks and feels like a sun burn where the patches were.. But I will take the burn over feeling like I am going to explode..

Tomorrow I have transplant clinic.. I am hoping to blow a 90!! We will see i guess!!
